4 passes to 5; 4 cuts to the lane; 4 screens near the right low post; 4 screens near the left perimeter

Use this when you want your five man to be a dribble-initiating hub who can find any option around the perimeter or in the post. Your two and three clear to the corner and wing while your four comes up top, so your five can swing the ball to whoever the defense gives up. Finish with the four screening back down to the block to create a second-side post threat if the first look isn't there.
