Starting alignment (4 offense)

Call Duck In when your 5 man has established deep post position and you want a simple, direct entry. Your 4 catches and feeds directly into the post — no dribble handoff, no extra action — so you keep the defense pinned and give your big an immediate scoring chance on the block. Run it when the matchup favors your post player and you want to get him the ball before help can arrive.
