An example of a swing type, Flly-oop

Swing is a term commonly used by players to refer to a play style which can be considered a basic play style as it is what most of new players start out with. It is also the only play style to have many different types depending on the player's technique and strategy and the player who takes the leading role of this play style is known as swingman.

From a new player's perspective, swing style are often seen as a play style where the swingman requires no assistance from his/her teammates in attempts to score. They usually equip a set of dribbling skills to perform combos and escape from their opponents for an open shot. However, this has been proved to be less effective from time to time by veteran players and the play style starts to evolve and has become more diverse.

It should be noted that the bigman of the swing team must not leave the paint even if the swingman tries to do a layup, and possessing a high Long Layup attribute is a great advantage for the effeciency of this play style.
