Motion offense is rule oriented. Nunge doesn't cut. He passes and stands (which actually keeps the player on him. He tends to pass to perimeter players, not so much cutters (but some), he doesn't look to shoot.
Here are some general rules on motions. Fran wants motion but doesn't have motion players except for motion Pt Guards.
1. Keep Great Spacing – This is the most important rule of the offense. Perimeter players should always be about 18 feet away from each other.
2. Cut With a Purpose on Every Cut – Players must look like they’re going to receive the basketball on every cut towards the hoop. This involves showing target hands and calling for the basketball.
3. Never Pass and Stand – After a perimeter player makes a pass, they should never stay in the same place. What action they make will depend on what progression you’re up to and the actions you choose to use.
4. Watch the Cutters! – I’m not a fan of players holding the basketball for too long, but since this offense relies so much on cutters and off-ball screens, it’s important that the player with the basketball see the cutters and is ready to make the pass if it’s open.
5. Always Catch Looking to Shoot – Players must keep the defense honest throughout the entire possession. Always catch the basketball ready to shoot if the defense isn’t quick enough.
6. No Excess Dribbling – Don’t allow players to catch and put the basketball on the floor without thinking. Save the dribble. Only dribble when penetrating to the rim, using an on-ball screen, or improving a passing angle.
