Low Post Set is a comprehensive post-entry series that uses wing screens, perimeter cuts, and corner relocations to find your five a clean catch on either block. The action flows through multiple reads — your big can catch on the strong block, kick out, or receive off a re-screen depending on what the defense gives. Run this when you have a dominant post player and want to attack the defense from every angle.
