Call Eagle when you want to attack the weak side after swinging the ball to the corner. Your 4 sets a block screen to free 2 in the low post while 1 relocates to the perimeter, giving you a layup threat inside and a kickout option outside. The ball movement stretches the defense before your post entry seals the deal.
