What Is The Definition Of Pick And Pop In Basketball?
1. This is an alternate version of the classic pick and roll in which the player moves toward an open spot to receive a pass and make a jump shot (as opposed to rolling in the direction of the basket). The player first sets a screen for a teammate handling the ball, then quickly moves (or “pops”) into an open position for the pass. Usually, the player setting the screen will move towards the sideline in order to get an open jump shot.
