By teaching your players the Read and React offensive movement, you are teaching them to think, to notice, and to take advantage of every play on every possession. Let's see how can we efficiently use post players, or rather say post position, because, in the Read and React system, we do not tend to declare which player is playing which position. 


There are always the Laker cuts. We did analyze it in the particular post, but it does not hurt to see it once again. Put 3 players, one on the Point, Wing, and Low Post, and let the Wing player have the ball. He should pass the ball on the Post and make a cut towards him.

If the entry pass is denied, the ball will go from the Wing position towards the Point position, and the Wing player will cut towards the Low Post. 

The Post player will screen for the cutter and pivot towards the heart of the paint and receive the ball. This is option number 2. 

Option 3 is a product of the same action, but this time immediately after the entry pass inside the paint, the player that is on the Point position will cut towards the paint.

Here we have 2 options, either the pass for the layup, or the post will finish with the drop step or baby hook or up and under move.

This is what the Read and React system is all about. Make a logical pass, make a logical movement, watch what the defense is doing, and react opposite from it. This offensive system shows us what logic basketball is, it teaches us to think the right way, to play the right way. The results will come on their own.
