The 5-Out variation spreads all five players to the perimeter before triggering the back screen and cut. Your five passes, immediately sets the screen on the left wing, and your four attacks the right perimeter with maximum spacing behind them. Call this version when you need the widest possible gaps for a cutter to receive a kick-out pass.
