1 – 4 high across to begin.
#1 takes it on the dribble towards #2 on the right wing.
When that happens, #2 comes across the top off of screens from both #5 and #4.
#1 takes the ball back in the direction #2 is cutting.
#3 cuts down towards the middle of the lane, underneath the basket area.
Once #2 has the ball on the wing, #4 and #5 set a double down screen for #3 underneath the basket.
If you wish, you may even add #1 to complete the triple staggered screen.
We will assume that #2 was not open in the beginning.
If that is the case, #4 and #5 would still continue down and screen for #3 underneath the basket.
#2 would continue down to the low block area, ready to replace #3 underneath the basket.
#1 can hit #3 off the double staggered screen if he is open.
Let’s assume #3 was open.
When he receives the ball, #4 and #5 continue moving in that direction and find #2’s defender for a double screen or a double staggered screen.
If #3 wasn’t open on that play, he would continue cutting and curl around and out of the play while #4 and #5 would set the double or double staggered screen for #2.
Great continuous screen action from your post people trying to free your perimeter people for a jump shot.
