The Third Pass - Option 1 — frame 1 diagram
1 cuts to the right low post; 3 cuts to the top; 2 passes to 4; 4 passes to 2

Use this option to generate a post entry after using your point guard as a decoy cutter. Your 1 dives to the right low post to occupy the defense, freeing up the wing-to-wing pass from 2 to 4, who immediately kicks back to 2. You are resetting the offense at pace and putting your 2 in an attack position on the catch.
