What Is The Definition Of Banana Cut In Basketball?
1. A banana cut in basketball is a variation of the regular cut, but instead of the player cutting in a straight line, the player runs around the court in a slower, curved or arched cut.
The banana cut is most used against zone defenses, where the cutting player tries to move to and fill in the gaps in the defense.
This cut gets it’s name because it resembles the shape of a banana.
