What it is
- 5-out motion is potent against man-to-man defense because defenders cannot sag into the paint.
- This is increasingly common because teams now have big men who can shoot and handle the ball.
- 5-out removes the interior presence and forces offense to be generated through continuous perimeter movement, screening, and off-ball cuts.
Why it matters
- This is increasingly common because teams now have big men who can shoot and handle the ball.
- 5-out removes the interior presence and forces offense to be generated through continuous perimeter movement, screening, and off-ball cuts.
How it works
- 5-out motion relies heavily on off-ball screens (pin-down screens, cross screens, back screens) because there is no designated interior player to initiate high-low action.
- A player sets a screen for a teammate in the mid-range or on the perimeter, generating a cut or a step-out opportunity.
- The offense is more spaced and demands more sophisticated screening angles.
- 5-out motion is potent against man-to-man defense because defenders cannot sag into the paint.
- It is vulnerable to zone defense because the zone can cover five perimeter players more easily than it covers four perimeter players plus a low post.
