high post
Near the elbow
In basketball, the high post is the area of the court near the free-throw line, roughly at the top of the key.
A player positioned there can receive passes, shoot mid-range jumpers, or facilitate offense by passing to cutters or players on the low block.
Centers and power forwards who operate from the high post typically have good passing vision and a reliable elbow jumper.
He's most effective when he catches the ball at the high post and reads the defense.
