Call Drag 2 Rip 4 Stepup when you want to combine a guard rip-cut with a big stepping up for a ball screen in one connected action. Your 1 dives to the right low post to set the initial cutter, freeing the path for the step-up screen that follows — the defense has to account for both threats simultaneously. Use it when their guard is overplaying the ball handler.
