Kentucky — frame 1 diagram
1 cuts to the right perimeter; 5 cuts to the top; 2 cuts to the top; 4 passes to 5

Use Kentucky when you want your five man to receive at the top after your one clears to the wing. Your four hits the five in space at the elbow — it creates a mismatch look and lets your five make a decision against a defender who may not be set. Call it when your five can put it on the floor or find a cutter.
