How NBA teams use nonshooting bigs in a 5 out offense. (4.5 offense)

I put this in BYU because KY has mentioned he wants to run a 5 out "NBA offense" next season. This is how Fouss could be used in the system.

I understand this is Minnesota's offense and not KY's, but the NBA is a copy cat league and KY will form a system that works for his players. This is an example of a 5 out that could utilize Fouss very well.

I really like the creative ways Chris Finch has used Gobert on offense — including the two asymmetrical alignments, 5 Slot & 4.5 Out, that seem be growing around the league

In 4.5 Out (empty WS corner), Gobert sets a (seemingly) decoy flare screen — and then rolls for a dunk pic.twitter.com/eCARFmfigo

Finch finding new ways to use Gobert offensively has turned KAT–Gobert lineups from middling to excellent

KAT–Gobert lineups last season: +0.4 net, 109.3 oRTG

This season: +8 net, 120.6 oRTG

improving offensive rating by 11 points in a single year is nutty

Snyder sorta ran 4.5 Out in Utah—but mostly for ATOs

He loved (and still loves) ATOs that modify Horns & put a center in a corner to set a screen like this one

I don't remember his Jazz using 4.5 Out in flow offense, but maybe?

his ATL does a ton, thohttps://t.co/FysBG6o6lm pic.twitter.com/ti0fwzu6yV
