If x4 does not jump to the ball or lets 4 cut across their face to the basket, 4 needs to take the cut that the defense is giving. 4 should always attempt to face cut to the basket as their first option.

If 4 is not open on their basket cut because their defender is now on the ball side denying a return pass, 4 can break from their cut and set a down screen. By starting with a cut 4 is also able to improve their screening angle.
