Type of offense

[@ndrew]

Hello, my jazz fellows!
I have a question for you - does utah jazz offense system have a name? Or is it a mix of several offensive styles?

The Jazz run Flex sets, UCLA High post Sets and occassionally some basic motion offense. Of and of course several different pick and roll sets.

Jazz scounting report - from me.

Deron: Dribble penetration. Deron likes to use his crossover to get opposing defenders off balance so that he can attack the rim. He has a variety of ways to finish once he's in the paint.

Brewer: Brewer scores with off ball movement along the baseline and from opportunities created on the defensive end.

AK: AK uses dribbling and contact creation to create fouls and get free throws during dribble penetration in the lane.

Boozer: Boozer prefers a fadeaway jumpshot from straight away about 12-15 feet.

Okur: Okur likes a pick and pop from the angle at 3 point range.

Millsap: Millsap likes a turn around, fade away jumper from the baseline.

Korver: Korver prefers a quick 3 in the early offense.

Harpring: Harpring scores primarily off a curl play at the corner of the key.

Price: Price likes the dribble penetration followed with a layup attempt in the early offense.

Miles: IDK.

Collins: Collins likes to shoot 16 foot open jump shots.

Knight: Knight prefers not to score. If forced he'll likely try a step back jumper.

Almond: Almond likes to create contact in the restricted area on a dribble drive from the corner.

Fes: Fes likes to score with finess moves around the rim.

Kosta: Kosta seems to prefer the mid range pick and pop. Like a Kurt Thomas. (although, I'm largely guessing based on very little seeing)

Yes we run a Flex Offense, and we are the best at doing it. Very underrated might I say.

Sloan's offense has always been very good. Perfect execution > great athleticism....basketball is still a game and the smartest and most efficient teams win. Now that we have athletic guys at all positions, we are FUN to watch. Although Mailman was as athletic as anyone and in the best shape he and Jordan. Mailman was fun to watch.....

It is also called a "Priceton" style offense which emphasizes constant motion, passing, back-door cuts, and disciplined teamwork. It was used and perfected at Princeton University by Pete Carril, though its roots may be traced back to Franklin “Cappy” Cappon, who coached at Princeton in the late 1930s.

The offense usually starts out with four players outside the three-point arc with one player at the top of the key. The ball is kept in constant motion through passing until either a mismatch allows a player to cut inside to the basket or a player without the ball cuts toward the unoccupied area under and around the basket, and is passed the ball for a lay-up. Having a strong post player is important because this player is critical to passing to backdoor cutters, and can draw help defense to open outside shots.

The hallmark of the offense is the backdoor pass, where a player on the wing suddenly moves in towards the basket, receives a bounce pass from a guard on the perimeter, and (if done correctly) finds himself with no defenders between him and a layup. Alternatively, when the defensive team attempts to pack the paint to prevent backdoors, the offense utilizes three point shots from the perimeter. All five players in the offense-- including the center-- should be competent at making a three point attempt, further spreading the floor.
