Starting alignment (5 offense)
Trail Pick — frame 2 diagram
1 passes to 5; 5 passes to 3; 4 cuts to the right low post; 5 screens near the left wing; 1 cuts to the right corner; 2 cuts to the right perimeter
Trail Pick — frame 3 diagram
3 dribbles to the left wing; 5 cuts to the left low post

Use Trail Pick to move the ball quickly to the wing and collapse the defense with a screen. After 1 swings it to 5 and 5 hits 3, the screen on the left wing sends your guards relocating to the opposite corners while 5 dives to the low post — you end up with a wing-to-post read and shooters spaced in both corners.
