Basic play to generate movements in defenders across the court, including direct screens and off-ball cuts.
STEP 1
1 (point guard) positions himself about 6 steps away from the three-point line, and the other players line up parallel to the free-throw line respecting their positions.
The drill starts with the ball being handed to 3 (small forward).

STEP 2
Once 3 has the ball, 5 comes up to set a flat off-ball screen for 1 to generate the cut without the ball.
This creates the first attacking situation: triple threat for 3.
This creates the first attacking situation: triple threat for 3.
STEP 3
If there is no pass to 1’s cut, 3 passes the ball to 5 and 4 (power forward) opens beyond the three-point line to later receive from 5.
STEP 4
When 4 receives, he faces left where 2 (shooting guard) will make an off-ball cut to create the second game option, and after that 1 replaces 2’s spot to later receive from 4.
STEP 5
When 1 receives from 4 at the 45-degree spot, 4 will play the first direct screen to generate the third scoring opportunity.
STEP 6
Once he receives, he plays the first direct screen with 4 (pick and roll) to create the third scoring opportunity.
STEP 7
If no advantage is created in the pick and roll, 1 swings the ball to 5 and moves out to the 45-degree spot. 4, who rolled to create a 2-on-1, stays at the elbow of the free-throw line. 3 makes the same backdoor cut as 2 did in the previous sequence, then that same player comes up to replace 3 and later plays another pick and roll with 5.
STEP 8
5 plays a direct screen with 2 and then continues with the same situations: 4 receives, 1 cuts, 3 replaces, and they play a pick and roll with 4.
STEP 9
5 adjusts position to facilitate ball movement and anticipate the defense.
STEP 10
2 alters position to create defensive mismatches and penetration options. Center moves to support teammates and maintain constant game flow. Point guard adjusts position to facilitate ball movement and anticipate the defense. 3 adjusts position to facilitate ball movement and anticipate the defense.
STEP 11
Power forward executes an effective screen maintaining the team’s offensive flow.
