Run Wheel (2) when you need a quick scoring look through stacked screening action in the lane. Your two cuts through the lane, your five and four set back-to-back screens to free up the cutter, and your three locks off the low post so the one can deliver to five on the catch. This is a tight, disciplined set — it works best when your big can face up and score.
