Pick And Roll (The Ultimate Guide)

This is why they say not everyone can be a teacher. Break down was so on point. Even the T Jass clip showcased what went wrong. You took your time and it shows in your views!!

@Demarcus Okay Mr. Philosopher 🙄😂

[@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.

I am a video gamer and nerd, but the way you explained how the pick and roll is super detail. I love how you use the "If" statements to explain what to do in each scenario.

[@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.

[@Kerwinnn]

For such a long time I have tried to understand, with precision, what the pick and roll is and how it works. This video does a superb job explaining it. Best video out there! Thank You.

Coach frikki, I really appreciate your videos, I learn so much from them. Nobody explains basketball to me the way you do. Thank you

[@dispersion4333]

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.

[@brootal4234]

Really great examples and breakdown. I’ve seen so many screens irl and on KZbin be used terribly where the ball handler just ends up going iso on one defender after another after screens. Very few KZbin 2v2 creators use pnr. They just iso while the teammate stared and waits for the ball

[@CoachFrikki]

Yeah definitely agree. The PnR culture has to change. Why would you want a slow iso over a wide open three or slip to the basket?

[@brootal4234]

@@CoachFrikki Yeah and it makes the team predictable and the game harder than it needs to be. I know one player who will complain about getting double teamed in a pickup game but he doesn’t get that the other team has him figured out. He’ll never pass so they just surround the iso player and he ends up losing the ball or calling weak fouls. I’m going to keep your vid in mind when I play this week and remind my teammates to roll or pass to the open screener.

[@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.

[@Sarraqin]

Amazing breakdown, thanks coach. Just one small comment - in the Stockton/Malone empty side clips, we are in the era of illegal defense, so the help defender is forced to go late, otherwise they get a whistle. Nowadays you'll rarely get a side PnR THAT empty, and even more in Europe/FIBA rules, where no Defensive 3" means someone can camp under the paint to help on all rolls. That does free the skip pass, though.

Can your next video be about defense such as zone or something like basketball iq test for advanced players

[@shuyuantang5331]

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

[@Bob-exponentiel]

Excellent teaching !

[@dashingdreww1185]

Great video only thing I’d add is to get a switch off a pick and roll to purposely get the worser defender on your best player . Harden and LeBron use this to hunt players when their on the court and just abuse and score on them

[@CoachFrikki]

Good point, but that defender still has 4 help defenders with him. 2v1 situation or a wide open three is always better than a "mismatch". And in 99% of cases you don't have a Lebron on your team.

[@andrewlin2483]

[@Shingo_Aoi]

when they switch I actually think it's good to just attack the mismatch, at least most of the time. of course it has to be a clear mismatch, for example if you get a switch vs Anthony Davis (like the one in this video) maybe it's not the best mismatch you can get, but AD isn't definitely the average defender. and obviously those mismatches exists for the big as well. that being said I'll look forward to understand better those other options that are mentioned here

[@machinayrequiem8596]

After seeing that thumbnail, no wonder Steve Nash's court vision was so good.

[@curiousboy2204]

The video mentions the "perfect screen" has no contact, but I think that would really need both players (screener and ball handler) to have absolute perfect timing and I believe this is through a lot of training amongst the players. In pick-up games where people don't really know one another so well, I still think it's better to have the screener to make contact to "pick" off and seal the opposing player completely before rolling off in order to ensure the 2 v1 advantage.

[@CoachFrikki]

You can get the timing when playing with brand new players. The key is that the ball handler has to wait for the screener to roll. Attack (or pass) at the exact second you see the screener rolling. Problem w/ your strategy is that you can't "pick off" a player who is trying to go under and switch the screen.

[@curiousboy2204]

@@CoachFrikki usually, the screener's defender will be guarding the screener (standing with his back facing the basket) instead of going up to face the ball handler. The screener will not be able to roll. So in this case, the ball handler shoots the ball by hiding behind the screen somewhat. If the screener's defender commits by going up to face the ball handler, the screener should roll. Then the ball handler attacks (or pass)

[@curiousboy2204]

@@CoachFrikkiThe screener can set a "hard pick" i.e. stand just beside the opposing player to screen him and seal him. He will then not be able to move much.

[@CoachFrikki]

@@curiousboy2204 Sounds good in theory but the defender will fight back to not let himself get sealed. Making the pass hard at least. And there is help.
