1 dribbles the ball towards the left wing sending 2 on a zipper cut up the lane line to get the ball. 3 moves down from the wing to the block as 2 is making his cut. Once 2 has the ball, 5 and 1 turn to set a staggered screen for 3. 3 looks for a shot on the wing, but if he doesn’t have anything 1 cuts out towards the top of the key and 2 moves in towards the free throw line. 3 passes out to 1 and gets a back screen from 5. If nothing is there, 1 dribbles middle and the rest of the players are in a diamond formation. 3 chooses with screen to cut off of (4 or 5’s) and 2 moves opposite of 3 to the wing. 3 can also fake the action and run opposite.
