Zipper Option High Ball Screen

You see a lot of teams inbound the ball off SLOB with a zipper cut on the ball side. They sometimes run this into a high pick-and-roll. 

Here's a variation off the same theme, just spitballing. Same church, different pew. Vary personnel to suit your needs.


Instead of screening down, 3 gets the entry. 
2 clears to the opposite corner. 
4 sets a long, delayed diagonal screen. 
5 sets the high ball screen. 
We have several lefthanded 3s which gets them going to their strong hand with middle ball screens and both corners opened for possible threes.
