Use this ball-screen variation when you want a step-up pick on the left wing to generate a side pick-and-roll. Your five steps up to screen on the left wing, giving the ball handler a tight downhill angle off the screen. Call it when your guard can turn the corner and you want the roll man attacking a scrambling defense.
