Use Air Force 5 Out to spread the floor and attack a crowded lane from your 5-out alignment. Your 5 dribbles to create the entry angle, 3 cuts hard to the low post to receive the pass, then the ball swings back out so 1 and 3 relocate and reset the spacing. You get a post touch inside and immediate kick-out reads, all without clogging the paint.
