5 Out - Off Ball Screens
You can also use off-ball screens in the 5-Out Offense.
The main rule here is this:
- if the cutter goes to the rim, the screener pops back to the ball
- if the cutter stays outside and goes to the ball, the screener rolls to the rim
We always want to have a cut to the rim on every play.
Phase 1
- 1 passes to 3
- Instead of cutting to the rim, 1 screens for 2
- 2 curls tight to the rim
Phase 2
- Since 2 curled to the rim, 1 comes back to the ball/rotates to the proper spot
- 4 and 2 also rotate to the appropriate spots
Phase 3
- Now, we are back into the 5-Out Offense
- 3 passes to 5
Phase 4
- 3 screens away for 1
- 1 cuts outside and cuts to the ball
- This means 3 will now cut inside (we always want a rim cut)
Phase 5
- 3 cuts to the rim
- 2 and 4 fill their spots
- 3 fills the next open spot
- We are back into 5-Out
