Explain One Play: McCaw’s three weaves

Related Topics: Richie McCaw

The Weave is one of the earliest plays that Steve Kerr introduced in 2014. In fact, it’s one of the first plays I ever wrote about. It hasn’t changed at all since they installed it. They put in a couple of counters along the way, but they don’t run the play enough to make it worthwhile.

The play is pretty elementary when scouted. It’s a way to get a running start into a pick and roll, but the Warriors, being too cool for school nowadays, run it very sloppily so it’s not much better than a simple high pick and roll.
