Run Breakdown Drill 5 to sharpen the timing of a screen-and-roll into a post cut. Your 5 screens at the left low post, freeing 3 to cut to the block before 5 rolls to the basket for the catch from 2. It teaches both players to read each other — the screener learns to roll late, and the cutter learns to use the screen completely before the pass arrives.
