A couple of days ago I posted a blog on how to move without the ball. It gave you four key components on how to move without the ball and how to be effective. Another important component on how to move without the ball is using different cuts. As a basketball player you want to get as much of an advantage over the defense as you possibly can. Knowing various cuts and how to use them will give an added advantage. Listed below I have a few cuts to use when you are moving without the ball.
L Cut
L Cut is a great way to get open against pressuring defense. It’s a good move to use if you are a post player that needs to get open at the high post or a perimeter player needing to get open on the wing.

Fade Cut
This cut is a good move to have when the defense is overplaying you for the screen. The defensive player will try to go over the top of the screen and then you can fade opposite of the direction of the screen.

Straight Cut
An offensive player can use a straight cut when the defensive player is caught staring at the ball. If you are able to see the back of the defenders head or jersey then you can use a straight cut to get to an open area.
