The Warriors show off their multi-layered offense in their rout of the Blazers

Set plays require certain personnel appropriate to what the action is trying to achieve — in that regard, anything that has an off-ball-screen element (or two) demands that those who receive such screens should be considered shooting threats in order to maximize the advantage(s) created. Otherwise, what would be the point?

Steve Kerr’s offense is well known for its heavy dependence on advantage basketball, typically using Stephen Curry as the ultimate advantage generator and Klay Thompson as a close second in years past. The grand irony of Kerr’s offense is that the structure of his approach to scoring wouldn’t be possible without the randomness and chaotic juice that Curry provides — “organized chaos,” if you will.
