2 cut

Formation: 5-out

Step-by-Step Execution:

1. Start in 5-Out Formation

   • 5 players spaced out on the perimeter: two in the corners, two on the wings, and one up top.

2. Pass & Basket Cut

   • Player with the ball at the top passes to the wing.

   • After the pass, the passer makes a hard basket cut looking for a pass.

   • If they don’t get it, they continue through to the weak-side block.

3. Wing Backdoor Cut

   • After receiving the pass, the wing looks to pass to the cutter.

   • At the same time, the opposite wing pops up to the top.

   • As that happens, the player in the wing slot (same side) makes a backdoor cut looking for a pass.

   • If they don’t receive it, they stop at the ball-side block.

4. Corner Pop & Setup

   • The weak-side corner player walks their defender in, then pops out to the top of the key.

5. Flex Screen Action

   • The player who previously cut to the weak-side block now pops up to the wing.

   • The player at the ball-side block sets a flex screen for this cutter.

   • The cutter uses the screen and stops right at the rim, ready for a quick catch and finish.

6. Double Stagger Screen for Shooter

   • After the flex cut, the screen-setter turns and, with another teammate, sets a double stagger screen.

   • The player from the top of the key comes off this screen looking for a catch-and-shoot opportunity on the opposite wing.

Why It Works:

• Combines familiar actions like pass-and-cut and backdoor movement to keep defenders guessing.

• Ends with two scoring options: a flex cut for a layup and a stagger screen for a jumper.

• Uses continuous movement and timing, making it hard to guard without switching or excellent communication.
