Film Room: Magic Football Positions


Sept. 18, 2015

Quarterback – Elfrid Payton

Payton regularly surveys the floor and doesn’t focus excessively on any particular teammate when dishing out the rock. This makes it more difficult for defenders to telegraph and intercept his passes. In the play featured below, Payton notices Sacramento’s defense is out of place. He fakes a pass to Channing Frye, which forces Rudy Gay to switch on defense, and then tosses a perfect lob pass to Tobias Harris. WATCH:

Running Back – Victor Oladipo

Oladipo can juke, spin, shake and muscle his way to the basket.
