Position as the guard for the pick and roll, dribble to the 45-degree area. The screener angles perpendicular, the guard attacks, and the screen rolls to open a pass.

Explain pick and roll positioning for defender and screener at the top of the three-point line and 45-degree extended area, creating a two-on-one as ball handler attacks rim.

Explore the pick and pop series with the pin screen, showing how defenders slide and how attackers exploit the space for drives and open shots.

Explore how the pick and pop creates space: sprinting after the screen opens a catch-and-shoot, while the ball handler draws defenders to free the shooter for a pass or shot.

Learn to read body alignment and footwork in a pick and roll, spot the open man as the defense rotates, and decide to shoot or pass.

Analyze how flat defense and a high screen in a pick and roll create gaps, forcing switches, middle drives, and bounce passes or open shots from the corner.

Demonstrates how a four‑and‑five situation draws defenders, forces switches or rotations, and creates inside and outside options as the ball handler attacks the big.

Analyze reads for passing, including bounce passes off screens, assess defender rotations and spacing, and spot passing openings and offensive rebounding opportunities.

Explain backside space and gravity in pick and roll concepts, showing how creating a straight line to the basket forces defensive rotations, opens passing lanes, and yields scoring advantages.

Explore backside space and gravity in the horns, showing how the big seals defenders and draws gravity that prompts late rotations, opening drives, passes, and rebounding opportunities.

Explore slip reads in the pick and roll to exploit defenders' rotations, create space for slip passes, and deliver open shots or mid-range opportunities.

Explain how a slip read in the pick and roll exploits defenders out of position, creating space for the slipping screener and opening rebounding opportunities.

Attack the backtracking big after a screen, exploiting straight-line defense. Use crossovers or a simple change of direction to finish, making their movement vulnerable to floaters.

Explore how spacing and timing influence the pick and roll. Use speed variation to open gaps, lure defenders, and attack the basket with a bounce pass.

Demonstrates how varying speed and timing, along with impeccable spacing, open passing lanes and force defensive decisions to attack again in the pick and roll.

Exploit under rescreening and quick cuts to counter a defender going under the screen. Rescreening keeps two defenders sliding, opens shots for the ball handler, and creates space under pressure.

Explore unorthodox but effective screen angles that free the ball handler for a straight-line basket, draw a switch, and create space for a weak-side kick out.

Discover screen angles with your back to the defender that enable quicker dives to the basket and create space behind the screener, at 45 degrees or toward the three-point line.

section 2 explains spanish pick and roll variations, their advantages, and cues, including back screens that let the picker roll to the basket, while switches create mismatches and lob opportunities.

This lecture explains the Spanish explanation of the pick and roll, highlighting a third screener rolling to the basket to create mismatches and lob opportunities.

Read the defense on a Spanish pick and roll by creating space, forcing the defender to fight over the screen, and attacking rotations for a straight-line basket or open shot.

explains a spanish read on the roll in pick and roll, using help defense to open a top or corner shot when a straight line to the basket isn’t available.

Explore a spanish read of the three-man pick and roll, with the guard driving to the basket to exploit the second screener's out-of-position defender.

Create space in the middle and wall-side corner with a high and back screen, force rotation, then attack or pass to the back screener for a three, emphasizing on-ball pressure.

Analyze various basketball defensive styles and their countermeasures, including switches, flood coverage, and handling ice defenses, to help teams counter opponent schemes.

Analyze how to attack a switch in a pick and roll by leveraging a size mixup, using a back screen to force the defender out and exploit open threes.

Explore advanced pick and roll options to exploit switch dynamics. Set high, angled screens to force lagging defenders, create deep catching positions, and exploit mismatches for kick-out threes.

Attack switches to create an advantage with a small screen, mispositioning defenders and forcing a switch, enabling a drive or open shot in the lane.

In a high pick-and-roll against a flat defense, look for an open pocket pass or top pass as spacing opens. Attack the straight line to the basket and read rotations.

Attack flat coverage with a pick and roll, drawing help from the paint and creating open shots when defenders rotate off the man.

Explore the pick and roll against flat coverage in a one-two formation with a high pick and roll, creating Luka's drive as weak-side shooters and flood coverage trigger defensive relocations.

Explore flat coverage in the pick-and-roll, as the screening defender opens, the roller is created, and players read on-ball defense to attack the rim or find the open man.

The ball handler attacks a lane under the basket during a quick transition versus ice defense, exploiting spacing to change direction and create a good scoring opportunity.

Analyze high pick and roll scenarios, including under and top of the screen defenses, rescreens, and spacing that open shots and force timely rotations.

Attack the basket or shoot when the guard goes under the big's screen. Initiate a rescreening action and repeat on every screen by rolling off defensive changes.
