The several topics Fundamental skills,movement skills,attacking and defending the basket,post moves,defense, setting screens,reading the defense,and creating space all relate to 5-on-5 basketball play because since you have a lot of guys on your team, you definitely are going to need some space, work as a team and read the defense as well as communicate to each other about the other team's defense. Setting screens help creates space for at least one or two open people on your team you can win and drive to the paint for good buckets.

1. For fundamentals being able to successfully pass the ball and to dribble pass defenders is necessary for five on five basketball. Also, to move without the ball is needed for good team work.
2. Attacking the basket is needed in 5 on 5 because if no one scores there is no way that a team could win no matter how skilled they are fundamentally and for defense being able to switch helps keeps a defender on the offensive player.
3.post moves are essential because there could be a high chance of a mismatch in five on five basketball and knowing when to pass the ball into the post allows for easier baskets.
4. being able to set a screen and to make the right decision either to take the shot pass it to the roller or drive to the basket applies the same way to five on five as it does to 3 on 3 but that there could be an extra open player on the court to pass it out to.
I feel very successful with each of the above topics for 5 on 5.

1.Fundamental skill is really important in 5 on 5 game, if you don't have these skills you will play 5 on 5 not good. Movement skill will help you get good cut and get good pass.

2.you should defend hard to limit your opponents and you should get scores.

3.If you have forwards or center on your team using post move you will score easily.

4.Setting screen, reading the defense and create space will help you gt scores much easily.

I don't think it is not very good, but I hope it will help a lot.

1.The fundamentals help you be able to do things like score in the post when you play 5 on 5, and movement skills help you get open to score.
2. Attacking the basket helps your ability to drive and penetrate the defense, giving more opportunities to score. Defending the basket helps you be able to help you're defense if they break down, or defend you're man if they go iso.
3. Post moves help you score when your guard can't break his defender, and defense helps keep your team keep the opponent's points low giving you a better opportunity to win.
4. Setting screens helps you get past your defender and score in 5v5 and reading the defense helps you know where to drive and where they are defending the least. Creating space allows opportunities to score.
5. I feel I am pretty successful with these topics, although I could set more screens.

1. At every level of basketball, you must know the fundamentals; dribble, pass, and shoot. Moving to an open space creates more scoring opportunities.

2. You must be able to attack the basket strong and finish through contact. When you attack the basket, you will get to the free throw line often and put the other team in foul trouble. Defensively, you must move your feet to stay in front of your man and contest the shot. If you have a good rim protector, the other team will be forced to shoot from the outside.

3. Having a solid post player is very important in 5 on 5. Some post moves are impossible to stop. Also, when there is a mismatch, post up on a smaller defender is ideal. Again, on defense, you must contest the shot.

4. Both, setting a screen and reading the defense, create open looks, enabling your team to score. When you have space, it is easier to get your shot off.

Since we have started the 5-on-5 basketball unit, the fundamental skills as well as movement skills are definitely necessary when on a 5-on-5 team especially on offense and mostly defense in order to keep the other team from scoring and to make space for your teammates. Attacking and defending the basket is very important too because of that saying of how can you score if you don't shoot is one way to say it but also driving into the paint and getting open underneath the basket helps get easy shots. Keeping tight defense on your man really helps your team a lot because by doing this it forces the player with the ball to turn over the ball. Setting screens and reading the defense will really benefit your team big time by creating space and allowing your teammates to get easy or even open shots when you set a screen. By either team doing this, it makes it harder for the defender to get to his man in time to keep him from scoring. By reading the defense, it will prevent the defender from getting stopped in a screen so he could catch his man and still continue to play some defense on his man. With each of these topics being discussed, I think the 5-on-5 team I'm on just needs to practice on creating space and attacking to the paint as well as reading the defense so the other team won't score as much as they did in the recent game we played.

1. Movement is key in 5 on 5 to get open or get a teammate open without the ball
2. In 5 on 5 you might have to defend the basket by playing help side defense and staying in front of your man
3. In 5 on 5 you have to defend your man and stay between him and the basket on defense to make sure he doesn't score
4. Setting screens is good for 5 on 5 because it can create scoring opportunities and/or get your teammate open

1) Fundamental skills relate to 5 on 5 because all skills are used during games (offensively and defensively. Movement relates because you must always be moving on the court
2) 1 on 1 relates to 5 on 5 man to man defense. Attacking and defending the basket relates because all players do both on offense and defense.
3) 2 on 2 relates because their are ball screens. Post moves and defense relate because a guard can post up a big man during 5 on 5.
4) 3 on 3 relates because players can create space with screens and cuts during 5 on 5.

I feel pretty successful with all topics

1)Fundamental skills are necessary to be a good basketball player and teammate, as are movement skills.
2)An extremely effective way to score points for your team is to drive to the basket. Also, you will need to defend the basket no matter what type of defense you are playing (zone, man etc.).
3)Another extremely valuable skill we practiced in 2v2 was post moves, which allow for easy scores if the moves are done smoothly.
4)A key part of five on five is creating opportunities for your teammates. Setting picks and creating space are vital in order to be successful. Also reading the defense in order to plan your offense strategy is a must.

1. fundamentals relate to five on five basketball because they are the key principles of basketball. attacking and defending the basket are related to five on five because if you attack the basket you can kick out the ball to open teammates. defense relates because you can force bad ball movement and create offense with defense.pick and roll offense can be used for easy points. i feel comfortable with most of these concepts.

1. Fundamentals are the foundation of the game on both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor. Movement is important for both ends of the floor as space needs to be created to have an effective offense and constant motion on defense makes a good defense.
2. 1 on 1 basketball helps you learn how to attack the basket when you get the ball. It also teaches you how to defend your man.
3. 2 on 2 basketball shows you how to play a 2 man game on offense which includes post moves. It also shows you how to use your teammates for help on defense.
4. 3 on 3 basketball shows you how to set screens effectively and use screens. It also gives a more realistic look at what defense is like in a 5 on 5 game. Also, since there is only three people on each team, you can utilize the extra space to create offense.

1. Fundamental and movement skills relate to 5 v 5 because it is important to move around to get open and get the ball
2. It is important to attack and defend the basket because establishing a presence in the paint will open more options for your team on offense and defense.
3. It is important to have good post moves and defense to increase your chances down low and try to prevent the other team from scoring as much as possible.
4. Screens are important because they will help people to get isolation from the defense. Reading the defense is also important so you will know what play you want to execute.

1. When shooting the ball, make sure to create space between you and the defender, and try to use the back to against the opponent so they cannot steal the ball.
2.I think the most important thing on 1 on 1 is to create space for shooting so the crossover will be important, or under basket the post move will be a good decision too, it all depend on the level your opponent on.
3. For my opinion, the post move should only be done from person with high skilled. I think during the post move, faking and fast shots are really important. And as the defender, you have to concentrate on his waist to determine which side he is going.
4. I think setting screen is one of the easiest way to score because you have so many options after the opponent has been screened out. So as the defender, you always have to watch the screen and call people to help you to guard. and make sure don't fault them.

1. This relates to 5-on-5 because you have to know how to pass and use your teammates to be successful.

2. You can only score by attacking and you can only prevent the opposition from scoring by defending the basket so these 1-on-1 skills are needed to win in 5-on-5.

3. Once again playing defense prevents the opposition from scoring and post moves help draw defenders so you can pass to an open teammate.

4. 3-on-3 basketball plays are crucial because setting screens free the lane so you can get easy lay-ups and creating space results in easy lay-ups.

5. I feel very successful with these topics.

1.) Fundamental skills and movement skills help to improve the overall play of the games, and allow for a more fast paced game offensively as well as defensively

2.) 1-on-1 basketball skills make offensive and defensive positions more difficult. These skills can either benefit your team or hurt it depending on your level of skill

3.) 2-on-2 basketball skills improves 5-on-5 gameplay because it helps to set up strong post moves and defense

4.) 3-on-3 basketball skills improve the quality of gameplay because it helps to set up a strong defense during 5-on-5. Screens are more frequent due to 3-on-3 gameplay

I feel my team is fairly strong with each of these topics during 5-on-5 gameplay.

All of these topics are vital parts of 5 on 5 basketball. These are the basics of basketball, and we wouldn't be able to play basketball. When playing with 4 other people, knowing how to move, attack the basket, play inside and outside, and set screens, along with knowing the fundamentals, are vital to have a successful team offense, while defense, and its vitals that can be learned in 1 on 1, 2 on 2, or 3 on 3, is needed to play the game correctly.

1) Fundamental skills relate to 5 on 5 because they are the skills and movements that define basketball

2) Attacking and defending the basket is important because it is the simplest way points are scored, and is the base of most offenses in 5 on 5

3) Post moves relate to 5 on 5 because most 5 on 5 teams will have a big man that will use post moves on offense

4) Screens and reading the defense relates to 5 on 5 because they are what allows teams to run more complex plays, creating more points

I feel very successful with each of these topics and I feel like my team implements them all well

1)Fundamental skills help all around, they provide the means by which you move around the court
2)1-on-1 skills are needed because they allow the player that is open to get into the paint for a basket they also help in 1-on-1 situations during the game
3)2-on-2 moves are relevant because you still need to be able to do post moves. Defense is also critical.
4)In 5-on-5 you need to be able to create space for yourself and you need to set screen to allow your teammates to make it to the basket or pass it
5)i feel comfortable mostly with the 3-on-3 moves

1. Fundamental skills help you as an all around player
2. 1 on 1 skills allow people up top to beat their man and draw other defenders and leave people open
3. 2 on 2 skills will transition to well post play if you have teammates that can recognize pick and roll type plays
4. 5 on 5 involves all these skills just on a bigger scale
5, I feel most confident in 2 on 2 because when I used to play I played a lot on the post and 2 on 2 skills were used the most

3. Post moves relate to 5 on 5 because most 5 on 5 teams will have a big man that will use post moves on offense
4. Setting screens is important in 5 v 5 to get more open players

1. You need to know Fundamental skills and Movement Skills or you will be confused on what to do.

2. In 1-on-1 Basketball- Attacking and Defending the Basket are key points in 5 on 5 because you want to create space to get to the basket also you want to be able to get back on defense to stop the penetration.

3. In 2-on-2 Basketball- Post Moves and Defense are key points because if you have a big man you always want to feed the post especially if he's a good big man. You always want to slide your feet on defense because you don't want the other team to score.

4. In 3 on 3- Basketball- Setting Screens, Reading the Defense, and creating space are key points because in 5 on 5 you have to set screens for your team to score, read the offense and defense to know what to do and how to move, and make space for yourself to score.
