This is a great quick hitter that puts a 2-3 zone in a few tough situations.

This play works best if 4 is a threat to shoot the 3 at the top of the key.

Once 1 initiates the play and swings the ball, quick ball movement and spacing put x4 in a spot where they have to figure out to whom they want to give the wide open 3.

1 Dribbles up the right side until x1 initiates defense.

4 steps out for ball reversal as 5 cuts to high post calling for the ball.

3 runs the baseline hard.

5 screens x4 and 4 flashes to the ball side block

You can space the rest of your players according to your feed and space rules.
