STEP 4

Next, 2 cuts to the basket, receives the pass from 5, and then scores at the basket. If 2 is not open to receive the pass, then 1 cuts to the wing via the screen set by 4, receives the ball from 5, and takes the open jump shot.

Additionally, as an alternative option, 3 could receive the ball from 5 for another jump shot option if 3’s defender decides to help on 1 when 2 cuts to the basket.
