Purpose
Looks to create an open jumper for 2 or 3 on the wing. There is also a post option.
Drill Setup
1 is on top. 2 and 3 are on the wings and 4 and 5 are on the blocks down low.
How It Works
- 1 passes to 3.
- 1 cuts toward the basket. At the free throw line he turns and cuts out to the wing to set a screen for 3.
- 5 flashes to the free throw line to set a second screen for 3.
- 3 dribbles past the two screens and either shoots or passes to 2.
- 2 shoots or passes to 4 in the post.
- Option 2: 1 turns and screens for 5 who pops out to the wing for a jumper.

2 often finds himself wide open on the wingas a result of this action.
Coaching Tips
This play is especially good against a 2-3 or 3-2 zone defense due to the wing screening action.
You should put a good shooter at the 2 position as they often end up open in this action.
