The Fifth Pass - Option 2 — frame 1 diagram
4 screens near the left low post; 3 cuts to the left low post; 1 cuts to the right block; 1 passes to 5; 2 cuts to the right corner; 2 cuts to the free-throw line

Call this option to create a simultaneous low-post cut and corner spacing that stresses the weak-side defense. Your four screens for three on the left block while two sprints to the right corner, giving your point guard two reads after the pass to five. Use it when you need floor spacing to free up a block scorer.
