In need of a very good play to get someone open at the elbow(High Post)

[bm011]

I have been searching for a high post play that gets a player open at the elbow(the mid range plays tend to take the player out towards the 3 point line too much, which is why I'm looking at the high post plays) . I am having trouble though. I have yet to find a play that is effective at having someone come off a pick or somehow getting open around the elbows. Does anyone know of a good play(or plays) that does that? Thanks.

Try zipper swing roll from Lakers playbook.

Edit: It seems to bug in the practice play thing. The play doesn't end after the 2nd option. Try it in match.

I have gone through this and it is great. The problem is that most high post plays that I have tried result in someone posting up at the high post and its not really a screen to get someone open for a shot at the high post area.

The great vannwolfhawk himself. Haha thanks man, I'll check it out, any others you can think of off the top of your head? I'm looking to add 2-3 to my playbook. By the way, the work you do with the playbooks is great.

I found the plays under the cutter section to be better for getting true mid range shots. So I would suggest you look under that section of plays.

The Bobcats have a player G. Henderson who has an elite rated mid range jumper, but is pretty terrible at the 3pt shot (67). I had to remove the "Mid range" plays and sub "cutter" plays in their place for the exact reason you are stating. Mid Range plays seemed to end with Henderson either outside the 3pt arc or very close to it.

I was going to suggest the Liberty 3 play as well. Its in the 76ers playbook as well as others. PF comes off the Center screen with a pretty clean look from the elbow/free throw line area.
