Frame 1
#1 is forced to reverse the floor with the dribble. He will dribble to the opposite wing. #4 will fill the top of the key and we are set to run the play.
Frame 2
When #1 dribbles to the wing after changing sides of the floor with the dribble, #3 will set a cross screen for #5.
Scoring Option #1:
#1 feeds #5 in the low post coming off of #3's cross screen.
Frame 3
#4 sets a down screen for #3 after #5 clears #3's cross screen. #3 will look to score. If he cannot score, we go into our half court offense.
Scoring Option #2:
#3 catches from #1 and shoots the three-point shot.
Frame 4
If the down screen set by #4 is switched, #4 will slip to the basket. He must also slip to the basket once #3 clears the screen even if there is no switch.
Scoring Option #3:
#1 hits #4 slipping to the basket for the lay-up.
