Drag — frame 1 diagram
5 cuts to the right wing; 1 dribbles to the free-throw line

Run Drag in early offense when you want a ball screen before the defense is organized. You push the dribble to the free-throw line and your big drags a screen to meet you in the middle — attack the hedge or the roll man depending on how the defense plays it. Simple and fast, this is your go-to when you want to get downhill quickly.
