Aggies: BLOB Play for Your Best Shooter With Posts Options As Well

This is an inbounds play that Texas A&M has used this season to get their 2-guard a three-point look, coming off a double-stagger screen. This play also gives the passer the option of throwing the ball inside if 2 is not open. 
3 should be a good ball-handler, decision-maker and shooter. 2 should be your best shooter 1 is the point guard and a safety outlet. 4 and 5 are the bigs and need to be able to screen well.
Frame 1
4 cuts to ball-side corner. 1 spaces out up top. 3 passes to 4.
Frame 2
Following entry pass, 5 sets a down screen for 3, who sprints to right lane extended. 4 passes to 3. 
Frame 3
5 and 4 set stagger screens for 2. 4 then posts while 5 slips to opposite block. 3 has the option to passing to 2 or the posts.
Frame 4
If 2 or the posts aren't open, there are several options. 3 can call for a ball screen from 4 or 5 for a pick-n-pop situation. 3 can pass to 1 and have 1 and 5 play a two-man screen-n-roll game.  3 can pass to 2 for a screen-n-roll game.
Frame 5
Continuity: #1  3 runs a pick and roll with a post. The non-screening post will fade out to short corner. I like going to the right so 5 will come up to set the ball screen. 4 will slide out to the corner. 2 will lift based on his read of 3's drive and 5's roll/pop. 1 has a read option as well. 
Frame 6
Continuity: #2 3 passes to 1 on wing. 5 comes to set a ball screen for 1. 3, 4, 2 have reads based on 1's drive and 5's roll.
Frame 7
Continuity #3. 3 passes to 2. 4 screens away for 5, then slides out to short corner. 5 then sets a ball screen for 2. 1 and 3 exchange with the option of screening for one another -- I would screen for 3 only if two already was driving to the basket. Otherwise, 3 would screen for 1. Note: 5 should have the option to post following 4's cross screen before going to set the ball screen for 2.
Frame 8
