When do you use a layup in basketball?

Answer 1

a layup is a shot made right beside the basket. It is usually a running shot that is quickly released and banked off the backboard. It is used because it is a high percentage shot and it is an easy way to score when running toward the goal without having to slow down and shoot.

Answer 2

It's called a driving layup, nothing else.

Answer 3

On fast breaks

Answer 4

Just another way to score

Answer 5

You use it when you are close to the net.
