Overview
Chips is a baseline out-of-bounds set against man-to-man defense. It starts with a simple entry to the elbow and flows into a screen-the-screener action that produces both a perimeter and an interior scoring threat.
Why it works
The initial curl forces a potential switch and sets up the screen-the-screener sequence. This layered action challenges defensive communication, often leaving a shooter open on the wing or a big sealing inside after a switch.
Teaching Points
Timing is critical—each cut sets up the next action.
2 must set a solid screen for the inbounder to sell the first option.
5 must sprint into the screen to create maximum pressure on the defense.
4 must be patient and read all three scoring options.
Variations
If the defense switches, look for 5 to seal inside for a mismatch. 2 can also slip the screen if his defender anticipates the pop to the wing.
4 flashes to the elbow and receives the inbound pass from 3.
2 sets a guard-to-wing screen for 3; 3 curls to the rim (first look).
5 sprints in from the corner to screen for 2 (screen-the-screener action).
2 pops to the deep wing for a shot; 5 can seal or slip to the rim.
3 clears to opposite corner, 1 lifts to opposite slot for spacing.
