This is the third edition in our Atlanta Hawks offensive playbook series. We have previously looked at “Power Forward Post” and “Horns Action”. Today, we will be looking at the “Pick and Roll”.
There are countless variations on how this action can progress on a given play so it is not feasible to cover every possibility. But we will try to cover the most common actions that come out of pick and roll sets. In part 1 of the pick and roll overview, we will focus on plays that involve the two offensive players in the basic primary action.
