[@vebbie0624]

@Demarcus The fact that everyone CAN be a teacher isn't necessarily false, it's just that alot of people shouldn't become teachers, because some are in fact horrible at it. Take example from parenting and you can find alot of horrible parents who can barely take care of themselves.

[@musak.4068]

Apologize for my confusion but I'm currently paused at 6:33 because "screen slips *right* between defenders can be taken as one of two meanings: 1. Screeners move to the right side of their body, between defenders (their right arm) 2. Screeners simply slip between defenders in whatever direction is advantages ("right" just emphasizes the action of them slipping)

[@CoachFrikki]

Meaning 2 is correct.

3:37 the point is that if you pass, now you have a advantageous mismatch also if your defender switch to someone who is slower and taller, it's easy to blow pass them

[@CoachFrikki]

And if your switch defenders is not slower- what is the point of the screen then? Good teams don't have bad defenders.

[@shuyuantang5331]

@@CoachFrikki still a lot of times we can get a big-on-small mismatch at the post area i think one key function of a screen is to create mismatch... of course my understanding of basketball is not nearly as good as yours, but this is one area where i have a slightly different observation

[@CoachFrikki]

@@shuyuantang5331 I know that but why would you prefer a "mismatch" 1v1 vs 4 help defenders? Opposed to creating that numbered 5v4 situation off the roll.

[@shuyuantang5331]

​@@CoachFrikki I never said I necessarily prefer it... it depends on the scenario I just wanted to say there is still a point there... even though it is not ideal... it could be an advantage And I would only prefer it if my screener is a great post player given that he has gotten into a good position I am not saying it's the best option, but it is another option especially when the defense is able to recover/switch fast

Yeah Messi running the high pick and roll would be interesting.

[@joshprinston5931]

But doesn’t this mainly work if your running 5 out . If your not running 5 out it’s not as effective

[@CoachFrikki]

Yeah having 3 shooters is by far the best spacing as the PnR is being run. The offense itself doesn't have to be a pure 5 out - any player/players inside have to recognise the PnR coming and space properly. Also the ball handler can wave them outside the 3 point line before running off the screen.

[@dereksupernaut]

if you have 5 midsize athletes on defense its a dumb offensive play as it brings 2 defenders to the ball on purpose which is insane... most teams insists on playing a small guard and a bigman and these 2 guys can't switch on defense which makes it hard to defend pick&roll... ALSO, Andrew Bogut claims he was allowed to set illegal screens for Seth Curry who just happened to play in Sillicon Valley which needed quality entertainment for its wealthy employees AND has a wife that gets constant media attention... fax!!!

Over the past 2+ years, I've picked up basketball seriously. I always used to play, but it was just because my friends did. By the time I began loving the game on my own and actually got passionate about it, the pandemic hit. It's been hard trying to improve as a player and learning everything on your own but KZbin and the internet were there to help. But the most helpful, by FAR, was finding your channel. Your breakdowns on dribble moves, defense, shooting, P&Rs and more were HUGE to my game. I literally learned every bit of defense and driving from your videos and it's helped me so much. I finally made my school team and managed to get on the starting 5. Can't thank you enough.

[@tomhershenson2492]

THANK YOU FOR THIS EXCELLENT VIDEO!! Yes, I’m shouting - because I have viewed at least a 1/2 dozen YT videos on the PnR (most if not all from prominent BB “explainer” channels) & *none* comes close to this one - clear verbal explanation, lots of examples, and a step-by-step review of all the options for using the PnR. Plus - & the more I think about it, I think this is a crucial part of what makes your video so good - NO voiceover narration from the creator. The play-by-play by the broadcast announcers is fine, but with the other videos I watched, the VOs were verbose & distracting. You gave super-concise statements of the key learning points & then let the video clips do the talking. Thank you so much (see, I stopped shouting) for enabling me to understand what I’m seeing when watching games.
