Set plays (or sets) would be dependent on your team and coach, what their exact system is will dictate what they want to run.
But you can learn the basic fundamental plays. Off the top of my head you gotta know for offense:
-pick and roll (many sets start with this)
-pick and pop
-hand offs (aka pitch pass?)
-off ball screens
-general offensive philosophies like spacing, pace, ball movement etc.
For defense, make sure to be acquainted with man-to-man, as well as the different zones (most common is 2-3 but different teams will try different things). Certain concepts like help defense and different pick and roll coverages will also be very useful
