Three players set outside of the perimetre, one at the point with the ball and the other two on each side. the remaining two (bigs) are at the low key just outside the key. The objective of this play is to pass the ball to one of the players on the side and draw the defense to slide to that side as well. when this happens the player with the ball will pass back to the player at the point. At the same time one of the players from the low key will run up and set a screen for the player at the point. From this options open up for the ball carrier to either pick and roll, jump shot, pass out to the player at the perimetre for a three pointer or drive straight to the rim for a layup.
