  2. Step 2

    Counterclockwise motion initiates from the 1 & 5 cutting positions. 5 brings their defender into the open lane. 1 brings their defender into the break lane. 1 & 5 cutters get open either under or deep. Ideally, the cutters would curl into the space rather than take a straight line. A straight line may cause a pick.
