V-cuts are the most common type of cut and are mostly used when on the perimeter in isolation when you need to get open for a pass.

V-cutting requires body-to-body contact by players. They are executed by walking the defender a couple of feet inside the 3-point line, planting your foot, and then exploding out to receive the ball. L-cuts are a great way to get open on the perimeter when starting on the block. Take the defender up to the elbow, get your top foot over theirs, give a small nudge to create space, and lead directly out to the wing while calling for the ball. The curl cut is executing a curl around a screen. This cut relies on the offensive player reading his defender.

If the defense follows around the screen, then a curl cut is the best option to receive an open lay-up. But if the defense cheats on the screen and goes over it, then the best cut would be the next one on the list, the flare cut. The curl cut and flare cut go hand-in-hand.

When the defender cheats on a curl and tries to cut it off, players should flare out to the corner. A deep cut involves the player on one side of the floor to cut baseline behind everyone and to the other side. It involves a player at the top of the key making a pass to a perimeter player and then cutting directly to the block off a high post screen. If performed properly, this cut often leads to an open lay-up for the cutter. The front cut involves getting on the ball-side of your opponent. Usually this is executed by performing a jab step or a small cut behind the defense to get them to move back.

Once they do, you cut in front of them closest to the ball. This means going underneath them and keeping your defender occupied while they fill the spot that you were in.
