What I'm suggesting is not limited to 5-out.
YOU just said you weren't satisfied with 3-out and the other two running pick and roll.
With respect, I think in the game today, a pick and roll without adequate spacing from the other 3 is flatly a waste. I don't think this is a question of "style," I think it's about right and wrong, based on the currently available knowledge of what it's going to take to win at the pro level.
BTW, this concept has been around since Stockton and Malone, and probably before that. It's just that the standard for what "good spacing" looks like has evolved through the years as more and more players have become good shooters. You need those good shooters now more than ever, just to compete, because the other teams have them and so THEIR Stockton and Malone are going to have the space they need to make your defenders work much harder.
