[@demaurimitchell3167]

Honestly I haven’t seen the P&R look so beautiful until I saw Jokic and Murray do it in last year as they destroyed my lakers

[@awesomeninja234]

Jokic and Murray is by far the best pick and roll pairing in the league

[@JasonWan88]

Draymond/Steph, Jokic/Murray instantly spring to mind.

[@milosjovicevic6083]

I've been watching the NBA since ' 88. The best pick and roll ever is Jokic - Murray. Primarily due to Jokic's incredible sense of space and his unreal vision/assistance. Another thing, Jokic is literally by far the most accurate basketball player ever between 3-10 feet + top 10 ever between 10-16 feet. Third Murray when he gets fired up is unstoppable. Plus Jokic makes a lot of smart blocks. And they still have a bunch of variations in the pick and roll extension.

[@dre32pitt]

I'd argue the Steph/KD PnR was up there too.. Truly pick your poison with the best shooter ever and one of the best shooters ever.. We only got to see 2.5~ seasons of it though, but GS never really spams PnR.. They broke out the Steph/KD PnR in the playoffs.. Crazily, it worked best when Steph was the screener lolol.. Talk about gravity.. Jokic is amazing and one of the best bigs ever, imo, but he doesnt have, nor command, that level of gravity.. And with Steph, you gotta pick him up at the hotel before the game.. you've seen the clip, lol..

Unless this is just brown as the initiator and porzingis as the pick guy i dont think you explained thier duo as well. That more tatum/porzingis. Brown and porzingis is two fold were jb eats off drives & midrange while kp gets lobs mismatch postups and open 3s. But there is another dynamic where jb is either the pick man or uses kp body to have kp defender screen jb man and jb cuts off that. Its been alot of kp assist on jb cuts this yr basically taking smarts role

[@FahadDonRimz]

Pacers adding a premier wing scorer next to the Hali/Turner PnR will add another wrinkle to their offense come playoff time. Can’t wait to see how good they look then

[@blorblol]

Purely for pick and roll plays, it's too bad we lost the Embiid/Harden pairing. Watching them go to work in PnR last year was like a can opener prying open the lid of the defense

[@w00t777]

come playoff time, we all know only one pair will absolutely destroy everyone 😂 Jokic / Murray are unstoppable

[@HoopEnthusiasts]

I like watching maxey and dame because their style is very similar and dame is one of my favourite players ever. I think why the guan is and dame 2 man game hasn’t worked is because of giannis limitations as a spacer and he doesn’t have the lower body strength like Embiid to set good screens to distract the POA defender.

[@ryenis]

Do you have an update on your defend from behind defense strategy and could you do a breakdown on the houston cougars college rush style defense? Great vids as always!

I’ll have an update soon on the Chase defense… and I’ll check the Cougars defense but it just sounds like blitzing the PnR, right?

[@ketchupash2252]

Watching Lillard his entire tenure in portland, he always love a solid screen set and a little late roll which allows him to attack the paint. Giannis for some reason rolls early and surprisingly sets not solid screen (compared to guys like nurkic, adams, adebayo, jokic)

[@uwannasee_greatness]

It's insane, because the play is still MONEY! That shows you how high the ceiling is for Giannis and Dame playing next to each other. Dame if he just hit his career average in fg% would be averaging 27 a long with Giannis' 30. Team is something like 20-2 when Dame hits at least 26. 😳

[@bballbreakdown]

Totally… he doesn’t need to set physical picks but I do worry it’ll be more of an issue in the playoffs

Pretty easily Jokic-Murray

[@Vergel520]

The best PnR player is James Harden, partner him with Giannis and you will see the ultimate teamup

[@Panther016]

so the Brown/Kristaps P&R is just Brown shooting it every time

[@ryanb9305]

Its just mainly highlighting browns scoring but KP has been feasting on the 3 when teams play drop coverage on him. Also KP has been a good roll threat catching lobs. Jaylen has a fair share of assists considering everyone on that starting 5 have been playmaking too.

[@aarong9128]

How do you make a video about pick and roll and not put Harden in it?

[@Pidnpod]

I'd say one that deserves to be here is the mike Conley Rudy Gobert empty corner pick and roll. Although they don't spam it it's unstoppable when the wolves pull it out

Give the Lakers a new teammate movement without the ball style 3-point shooter at 2-Guard to set the backscreen for the Pick & Roll ballscreener, then pop outside for catch & shoot Top of Key 3-pointers in SPAIN PICK & ROLL off D'Angelo Russell's passes.

[@IKnowHuh731]

Giannis couldnt shoot his way out of a cardboard box. It severely handicaps any pick and roll potential

[@smgyro1476]

Wrong. Giannis rolling to the rim helps free up defenders from his pick and roll partner in question because they have to prioritize stoping him getting to the rim compared to other options, and if he gets better at setting physical screens and rolling consistently rather than popping out the three point line like he does at times, he's only going to make that play more difficult to guard because he's the most lethal roller in the NBA. If you choose to try and stop both, there's a bunch of great three point shooters surrounding them (like Beasley and Middleton) that'll be open. Giannis just has to stop remaining still when screening and try to roll constantly instead. Also even if you sag off of Giannis and try to contain Dame because you're not worried about Giannis taking a three, that just means you've given space for Giannis to pick up steam and go downhill which nobody can stop.
