#1 Option
The play is for the Big man. After setting a first downscreen on the first wing the big man sets another one diggin in even deeper for the 2 guard. As soon the guard passes him, he opens up after the screen. The Guard receives the ball and passes it to the Big man.

#3 Option
You can use this play as well to get your Wings an open shot. The Guard can use the 5 man downscreen for himself and read the defense to either curl, cut to the three or fade to the corner for a shot

Another possibility to get a shot for the 2 Guard is after the initial cross-screen to rescreen for the 2 and get him an advantage for the downscreen to free himself up.
