Run this when you want to combine the surprise of a stack alignment with a quick interior cut off the sideline. The screen at the lane kicks your big to the low post immediately, and then the ball handler pushes wing while the second screen clears the lane for a second action. It layers two threats so the defense must choose which cutter to protect.
