Players align along the free throw line extended. When the official hands the ball to the inbounder, 2 and 3 sprint towards the other end while 4 sets a cross screen for 1. Player 5 inbounds to 1 who speed dribbles towards the wing (Frame 1). Your PG DHOs to 3 as 4 moves to screen for 2. At the same time, 3 is setting a flare for 5 (*You may want to switch the 5 and 3 or 5 and 4 if 5 isn’t a shooter.). The PG has the option to score it, hit 5 on the flare, bounce or lob it to 4 on the roll, or throw it back to 2 on the shake.
