Spread Elbow
Play Starts in a 2-3 High Alignment.
1 passes to 2.
4 then cuts off a back screen from 5 at the elbow opposite the ball.
If 4 is open, 2 can hit him for a layup or a post isolation. This will not be open very often.
4 clears to the corner.
3 curls off of 5 at the elbow.
If 3 is open for a layup or post up, 2 will make that feed.
*Note, you could also make a call for a pass to 5 for a clear out in several of these frames if that is an advantage that you have.
If 3 is not open, 2 passes back to 1.
1 passes to 5 at the elbow and cuts off 5 for a Hand Off opportunity.
If available, 5 should hand off to 1.
As this action is taking place, 2 replaces 1, 4 replaces 2, and 3 moves to the dead corner.
If 1 does not get the ball on the hand off, 2 follows for a second hand off opportunity.
