Use Loop to get your point guard a catch in space off a ball-screen action from your big. You start with 5 bringing the ball up the right side, 3 cuts to the wing to create width, and 2 and 1 swing to the left perimeter and corner to space the floor. The action keeps the defense moving and gives your playmaker a clean look off the loop cut.
