Run Breakdown Drill 3 to practice the back-screen for a cutter attacking the basket. Your 5 sets a hard screen on the left low post as 3 receives at the wing, and the immediate action is 3 cutting to the basket for the return pass from 5. Use it to teach your bigs how to screen and re-engage as a passer in one fluid sequence.
