We start with 1 at the top of the key with the ball, 2 and 3 positioned on the wings, and 4 and 5 as screeners above the free-throw line. On the first pass, the ball goes to 3 and 1 uses an off-ball screen from 4.

With the ball, 3 swings it to 4 to reverse the ball to the opposite side, while on the weak side 5 sets an off-ball screen for 2.

4 and 2 play a dribble handoff and, out of that action, 5 on the opposite side sets a flare screen with 4.

After the flare action between 4 and 5, 2 can pass to 4 for a shot or play a Spanish Pick and Roll with 5 and 1. 5 sets a ball screen for 2 while 1 sets a back screen for 5, allowing 5 to roll to the basket and 1 to pop out for a shot.
