Here's a look that offers some simple yet effective movement off the top. Great for teams that understand and incorporate good spacing principles, as well as for teams that have an intelligent 2 that reads defenses well.
The action begins with four out and the post above the ballside block. 1 dribbles at 2 which causes 2 to move - in this case, a loop exchange with 1. Knowing that the action is coming their way, 3 clears to the opposite side of the floor and spaces to the corner. The movement of 3 means that 4 moves in space to a wing spot. While that is taking place, 5 has sprinted up and positioned for a location screen that enables 2 to use that screen (after looping). 2 must read the defense and, depending on how they are handled, either curl hard off the screen or flare. If you can't get the ball to 2 then look to enter to 5 who can then run a deep handoff exchange with 2 and look to play off that action. 5, depending on the defensive reaction up top, may have open shooters in 3 or especially 4 on the weakside, and may also have the look for 1 diving off the top.
