- Share as an image — export home and away lineups together to post anywhere.
Which formation should I use?
The 1-2-2 motion offense spaces the floor with a point guard up top, two wings, and two players in the post — good for ball movement and cutting. The 1-3-1 creates a high-low look through the middle of the defense. The 2-3 zone is a classic defensive shape rather than an offensive set. For 3x3 basketball, the triangle keeps spacing even between three players, while give-and-go is built around cutting and passing. Browse every football shape too in the formations guide.
