Do you have a 4 that can attack the basket or shoot it? This might work well for your team. Shooters (2 and 3) space to corners as threats and to spread the defence. Your 4 starts at the weakside low block or short corner. Trail big (5) is opposite the ball outside of three. 5 starts the action off the top by sprinting a weak to strong side lane cut to the ballside corner. The new position of 5 spaces 2 to be a wing threat. 4 times their flash cut up to the weakside elbow and looks to play (Princeton chin action) after receiving pass from 1. For 1, the first option is to sprint a brush cut under the ball to the strong side corner (which spaces 3 to a wing threat).
Second option for 1 is to set a little on big ballscreen for 4 to use and read up top. Regardless, 4 is looking to attack the rim, kick out to a shooter, or shoot. After screening, 1 reads the defence and spaces appropriately (flare, lane roll to rim, etc). As with any action off the top, timing and spacing are important.
Check back regularly for plays that will be posted. This one will be helpful if you are trying to isolate a player at the top of the key. 1 dribbles at 4 which pushes 4 to sprint the lane line then space to the ballside corner. 5 sets an angle screen for 3 to use coming off the wing. 3 makes an "Iverson" cut off the screen while receiving the pass from 1. Both 4 and 2 are available for kick passes and corner shots, while 5 spaces (flare, roll, etc) to be visible after setting the screen.
This movement has plenty of options and gets every player involved. To begin, shooters (2 and 3) are spaced as corner threats, post (5) is ballside above the low block, trail big (4) is outside of three and opposite the ball (1). 4 sprints across and turns/hooks to set a ballscreen for 1 to use and read off the top. 5 clears the post to set a corner screen away for 2.
4 sets a second screen as the top of the stagger (with 5) to open up 2 sprinting from the corner. 1 finds 2 with a pass coming off of 4's stagger. 1 must be thinking a dive (give and go) off the top and is reading their defender (move with the pass?) as well as the play of 2. For 1, there is also the possibility of setting a ballscreen for 2. 3 is looking to space accordingly opposite and is 'shot ready' at all times.
4 continues and sets downscreen for 5, then rolls to pinch post or iso. 5 is reading the defence and uses the post screen with the intent to catch and play off the high-low pass from 2. In order to best take advantage of the defensive reaction and recovery, the timing of the pass from 1 to 2 and the second screen of 4 for 5 should be highlighted and emphasized. If 5 catches inside, but is not able to play, then 3 must be spaced and ready for the kick opposite for an open look.
