A lot of coaches will counter an odd front defense with an even front offense. With that in mind, I would suggest a 2-1-2 offense. Have your ballhandlers in the backcourt to handle the pressure. Place an athletic player with strong handles in the middle and both bigs across half court and have them flash into open areas of the press. There doesn't have to be a lot of movement but you must attack the middle of the press and look diagonal.
