Breakdown
- Quick hitter designed to free your PG for a return-pass layup.
- 1 passes to 3 on the wing, then cuts off an upscreen from 5.
- 3 immediately returns the ball to 1 for the layup.
- Meanwhile, 4 sets a screen for 2 to create a backside scoring or rebounding option.
Coaching Tip
1 should cut hard and tight off 5’s screen. 3 must deliver the return pass on time—no hesitation—to catch the defense off guard.
