• The players will start in a 1-2-2 formation.

• 1 will dribble to either the right or left side (right in this case). This tells the team that the wing on the opposite side will be getting the pass/shot.

• As this is happening, 2 and 3 should be moving toward the baseline area.

• 5 will set a screen for 3 on the baseline.

• 3 must set up their defender and properly use the screen to move across the lane.

• 2 and 4 will set a double screen for 3.

• 3 should use the double screen to get open for a pass from 1.

• As this is happening, 1 should dribble toward the wing area to improve their passing angle to 3.

• As 3 comes off the double screen, 2 should immediately set a screen for 5.

• 5 will use 2's screen to get open in the middle of the lane for a possible pass from 3.

• As this is happening, 4 should turn and establish good post position for a possible pass from 3.

• Once player 3 gets the ball, they have 3 options:

• They can immediately shoot a jump shot.

• They can look to pass to 4 in the low post.

• They can look to pass to 5 in the lane.
