Flex vs Zone (Screener Pop)

Same alignment against a 2-3 zone: 1 and 2 up top, 3 and 4 in the corners, 5 on the left block. Against a zone the two guards stay up all possession; only the bottom three rotate.
1 reverses to 2. Against a zone the pass still triggers the action, but the targets are gaps, not defenders.
5 steps across and screens the middle defender of the zone, not a man. 5 is set and pinning him before 3 moves.
3 flex-cuts along the baseline behind the zone to the right block, arriving as the middle defender is pinned.
Screener pop, zone version: 5 flashes to the free-throw line instead of the slot. 2 dribbles to free-throw line extended to open the angle into the high post and the corner. No downscreen: 1 stays up as the safety.
2 feeds 5 at the free-throw line. A 2-3 zone's softest spot is the high post, and the middle defender was just screened; 5 catches facing the basket.
High-low: 5 drops the ball to 3 on the right block behind the zone. If the back-line defender steps up to 5, 3 has him sealed; if he stays, 5 shoots from the line.
3 scores on the block. Against a zone, run the pattern as an overload and a high-low, never robotically: the screen is on a spot, and the cutter fills the gap the screen creates.
