Offense - sideline triangle play

The inbounder should be a good decision maker as well as a threat to shoot a 3 if they get the ball back from their inbounds pass. Set up is a triangle, with two ball-handlers at the base, a big at the top, plus a further big capping the triangle. The bigs are the original screeners, with 4 and 5 setting a double stagger for the weakside low player to sprint a cut and receive a pass at the 3 point arc. After screening, 5 cuts straight to the ball. Based on good timing, 1 sets a cross screen for 4 (to open them up coming to the ball above the low block on ballside). Options are shot by 2, a handoff back to 3, and dump downs to 4 or 1 (if they can seal defender). Work on timing, setting solid screens.
