Even though we have a 5 Out alignment, post play is still an important part of our offense and should be utilized as a big part of our offensive attack. To get a player in post up position our team can do the following things:

1. Players can seal at the rim after cutting off a screen or making a basket cut if they feel they have an advantage at the post.

2. Players can intentionally cut to the rim and seal if they have a mismatch or believe they have an advantage in the post.

3. When a player drives to the rim, he can hold in the post if he thinks he has an advantage.

There are two spots a player can fill in the post:

4. Dunker: the area near the short corner, along the baseline. This spot is better for making drive reads rather than being a threat to score with your back to the basket.

5. Low Post: the area around the block, near the lane line. This spot is better for making post moves at the rim while looking to score.

It is important to note that we don't want to "pig in the post," meaning when posting up we should only hold that position for one to two passes or actions before emptying out to clear the lane. If we want to exploit an advantage, we can repost using the above actions later in a possession within the flow of the offense.
