what are "pick and roll" and "pick and pop" in basketball?

Answer 1

The "pick and roll" (also called "screen and roll" or shortened to "screen-roll") in basketball, is an offensive play in which a player sets a screen (pick) for a teammate handling the ball and then slips behind the defender (rolls) to accept a pass.

The play begins with a defender between the ball handler and the basket, the defender is watching the ballhandler, while the ball handler can move in the direction of a teammate. The team mate gets in the way of the defender, slowing the defender down. This is the "screen" or "pick". The defender is now separated from the ballhandler, and has a choice, either try and catch up with the ballhandler, or stay to guard the screening player. If he stays guarding the ball handler, the screening player moves parallel to the direction of the ballhandler, and generally towards the basket by rotating or pivoting on his planted foot - the "roll". The screening player is now facing the same direction as the ballhandler, and is behind the defender. The defender has to either hurry up to close with the ballhandler, or is caught in the middle between the two offensive players. Even if another defender enters the picture, either the ballhandler, the screening player, or both, will have more space and freedom of movement than before.

The pick and roll creates a space between the ballhandler and the defender. Because he has been "freed up", the ballhandler can either take a shot, or make a pass. Because the ballhandler has choices, the defenders must either give a chance for a shot or a pass, or rotate from their positions and thus create scoring opportunities for others. The main recipient is often the screener himself, who rolls to the basket and receives the ball near the basket for an easy score. A successful pick and roll play may result in the screener being in position to receive a pass with a clear path for a slam dunk or other high percentage shot, with the chance of drawing a foul as other defenders move towards the play to try and prevent penetration. It may alternately lead to the ballhandler being momentarily without a defender, and thus free to pass to any open teammate, or take an uncontested shot, which greatly improves the chance of scoring, again with the chance of drawing a foul as the screened defender hurries to get back into the play.

The success of the strategy depends largely on the ballhandler, who has to recognize the situation quickly and make a decision whether to take the shot himself (if he is left free), pass to the screener who is rolling (if the defender switches) or pass to a teammate (if other defenders come to help). The screener also has to recognize the open spaces of the court to roll to, and be alert to receive the pass and finish the play.

The pick and roll is often employed by a shorter guard handling the ball and a taller forward or center setting the screen. The purpose is that if the taller defender switches to guard the ballhandler, then the offensive team can have favorable mismatches. The shorter guard has a speed advantage over the taller defender, while the taller forward has a size advantage over the shorter defender.

Variations of the pick and roll are the pick and pop (or pick and fade), where the screener moves for an open jump shot instead of rolling to the basket, or the pick and slip, where the screener fakes setting a screen before slipping behind the defender to accept the pass.

In the NBA, John Stockton and Karl Malone of the Utah Jazz used this play to great effect in the 1990s, leading their team to the NBA Finals in 1997 and 1998. Stockton, a point guard, was a good shooter and exceptional decision maker and Malone, a power forward, was a great finisher. In recent times, Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire used the pick and roll to lead the Phoenix Suns to the top of the 2004-2005 league standings.

In basketball, the pick and pop is an offensive play that is a derivative of the classic pick and roll. Instead of "rolling" toward the basket, however, the player setting the pick rolls to an open area of the court to receive a pass from the ballhandler and "pops" a jump shot.

The premise between the two plays is the same: a ballhandler uses a teammate's pick to attract the attention of two defensive players to free his teammate for a scoring opportunity. A successful pick and pop relies on a ballhandler who demands constant defensive attention and a teammate with an accurate jumpshot. Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki formed a potent pick and pop combination during their years together in the Dallas Mavericks. Dallas still frequently utilizes this strategy, except with Jason Terry manning the passer's role in Nash's stead.

Answer 4

pick and roll involves two players on offense. They person dribbling the ball gets a screen from their teammate. They usually the defenders switch off the person who they guard and the person setting the screen will head towards the basket..this is the roll part. The screen is the pick part and moving towards the basket is the roll. So in a pick and pop the person settings the screen doesn't move towards the basket but sets up in a spot after the screen. The dribbling teammate will pass him the ball for him to make a shot.

Let's simplify this. . . .First the Visual
PICK & ROLL: Say you have the ball, all I am going to do is PICK the defender that is guarding you and drop my inside foot and ROLL toward the basket, hopefully you will get me the ball.

Now the Physical: If you are on the Left side of the basket, your inside drop foot would be your RIGHT leg and if you were on the Right side of the basket, your inside drop foot would be your LEFT leg.

Let's Simply this one. . . . .First the Visual
PICK & POP: Say you have the ball, all I am going to do is PICK the defender that is guarding you and drop my outside foot and POP away from you, hopefully you will get me the ball.

Now the Physical: If you are on the Left side of the basket, you outside foot would be your LEFT leg, and if you are on the Right side you outside foot would be your RIGHT leg. My pop out would be 2 steps away from you.

All right, Visualize what I just said to you and then take 2 chairs, put one on the right hand side and one down below as the basket, go to the chair at the top (which will be the defender) and practice your foot work.
GOD BLESS YOU and good luck

Answer 6

Pick and roll. It is a play between two persons. A player will make a screen or pick (as they call), then the player who is holding the ball will use the screen. After using the screen, he will pass the ball to the person who made the screen and then that person will make shot or a lay up. This is still popular in the NBA. However, in order break this play the person who guards the player making the pick usually traps the person using the screen to prevent him from passing the ball to the screener.
