Call Motion Strong Curl when you want your wing to get a clean catch off a curl read. You deliver the ball into the post and use that touch to trigger the curl action, so your cutter arrives just as the defense commits inside. It gives you a high-percentage mid-range or layup depending on how the help rotates.
