The lob pass to the lob cutter is not the only offensive scoring threat. After setting the back screen, 03 can slip the screen and step out on the perimeter to become a potential passer/driver/shooter.

03 uses the same type of footwork as if he were the offensive player to receive a down screen to get open on the perimeter, as previously discussed. He may feel he will become an instant jump shooter or could become just a passer/driver on the perimeter after slipping the back screen he set for 05. That decision most likely will affect what type of pivot 03 should use and which foot will be his actual pivot foot. In this situation, 03 front pivots off his initial right (inside) foot to become an immediate shooting threat. If he doesn’t expect to be an immediate shooting threat, 03 could make a reverse pivot (which could be called an inside pivot since the pivot is actually towards the basket) off his outside foot (the left foot in this case). Upon catching the ball and pivoting in this manner, 03 is in triple-threat position, facing the basket. He now has his new inside foot as his pivot foot and his outside foot as the free foot (to drive toward the baseline on his particular side of the court).
