The pick and roll is arguably the most used play in modern basketball, it involves a screen being set for the ball handler, which the ball handler looks to dribble off of to create an opportunity for themselves or teammate.

There is a number of different types of pick and roll and their are many different ways of attacking off it which changes depending how the defensive team guards the screen.
