The Second Pass - Option 3 — frame 1 diagram
5 screens near the left low post; 4 cuts to the left wing; 2 passes to 4; 4 cuts to the left low post; 2 passes to 5

Run this option to attack the left side with a cutting big and a drive-or-dish opportunity. Your five occupies the screener role while four cuts to the wing for a catch, then immediately cuts hard to the left low post — two reads four's cut and hits him on the move. You're hunting a quick post touch off a cut rather than a static entry.
