1 push or chest passes to 2 then cuts to the front of the rim for a pass. In a game situation, 1 will face cut if his defender does not jump to the ball (1 can fake one step away from the ball to set up his defender), or will take one step towards the ball then backcut if his defender does jump to the ball.

If 1 does not get a pass on the cut, he opens to the ball and seals at the basket, usually with a forward or reverse pivot away from the baseline (button hook).

Option - add a coach who jumps to the ball or not, the cutter must read the defence.
