Starting alignment (5 offense)

Corner Special uses a screen near the lane to free a cutter to the corner while your five man stretches to the wing. Your ball handler attacks off the dribble toward the block, giving you both a drive lane and a skip-pass option to the corner. Use it when you need a quick decision play that puts multiple defenders in conflict.
