Chicago

Chicago 4 is on the left side (Chicago 5 on the right). 3 posts at the second block. When 1 gets into working position on the wing, 3 holds if he has a clear look (for a pass), or he turns, goes to screen for 5 then clears to the corner. 1 has a direct line to come down the lane and will drive if he sees X3's back. 5 ballscreens for 1 and rolls or pops, depending on the player. 4 automatically punches as 1 comes off the ballscreen, better to be late than early. 1 can swing the ball to 2 then 3 in the corner.
