For this offense the cuts are a bit delayed to focus on the middle cutter. If it goes middle '1' spots up for a shot, if it doesn't then '1' switches with a wing if the ball goes to the corner. You can also have '1' pass and cut/screen away if the ball doesn't go to the middle, but would mean '5' basically comes all the way around from the opposite corner. I'd rather have the ball in '1's hands more.
Usually with 5 out offenses everyone is capable of playing on the perimeter, with this offense in particular all the players will eventually rotate in and out of every position if the offense continues. All that to say the 2 and the 4 should have similar skills so who starts where isn't as relevant for this offense. If you don't have 4 or 5 that can play on the perimeter this wouldn't be a great offense to run.
Thanks coach. Love the vids. I’m a 6’4 power forward and I’m 15. Hoping to make it to college and maybe even Nba this helps
Thanks Noah. Best of luck and keep hoopin!
Shouldn’t the 1 pass and cut after tht 1st pass?

Interested in the concept? Why start with the 4 at the wing instead of the corner as a primary cutter?
