The women's team from France uses this SLOB play to quickly get the ball inside. x4 has to help in defending the staggered screen, so 4 usually has no problem receiving the ball up top. The cuts from the wings help to draw attention from their defenders. This isolates the post players so they can make the high low pass. See More

Team USA used this play to get a quick post opportunity for Demarcus Cousins to open the second half in their game against Venezuela. The down screen forces x4 to help against the curl, which opens up the pass to the wing. To run this play you want to make sure your 4 is comfortable on the perimeter and is skilled in making post entry passes. The difficulty in defending this play comes with x2 having to guard consecutive actions, fighting over the pindown screen and helping on the cross screen. If 2 sets a great screen and x5 is unable to fight through it, it will lead to an easy post up for the 5. See More
