3-on-3 Wheel — frame 1 diagram
2 passes to 5; 2 cuts to the left corner; 3 cuts to the left wing; 3 cuts to the right perimeter

Use this wheel action to create a post entry and simultaneous wing relocation out of a single pass to 5. You hit 5 with the ball, 3 cuts to the left wing, and now the defense has to guard the post and the perimeter at the same time. It is a simple base motion that puts immediate stress on defensive help rotations.
