The Cleveland Cavaliers are among many NBA teams that use an offensive concept called “wheel motion.” It’s a simple concept: when a player dribbles in your direction, drift away from him - From the Strong side corner to the weakside corner, from the wing to the corner, etc., in a team-coordinated motion that resembles a wheel.

In the possession above, Will Wade sets a “Ghost screen” for Donovan Mitchell -instead of physically screening Mitchell’s defender, Wade essentially moves from the strong side wing to the top of the key. Wade’s movement leaves his defender, Devin Booker, disoriented, and he’s stuck in no man’s land, guarding no one. Darius Garland starts moving from the strong-side corner to the weak-side corner, taking his defender, Collin Gillespie, with him.

Another defender, Royce O’Neal, has his back to the player he should be defending, Sam Merril, stunts toward Donovan Mitchell, and then guards Wade after Mitchell passes to the latter. When the ball hits Wade, Merril already drifted to the corner - wide open, mainly because Booker is still stuck instead of rotating. Wade swings the ball to Merril, a 42.3% three point shooter, for a wide-open three - made possible thanks to the wheel motion (with a bit of help from Booker).
