3 cuts to the lane; 4 passes to 5; 2 cuts to the right low post; 1 cuts to the top

This is the third-pass set's constraint option — call it when the defense has been scouted on the other options and you need a change of pace. With no documented moves, use it as an alignment reset that puts you in position to read and react rather than run a scripted action. Keep it in your back pocket for late-shot-clock or timeout situations.
