The 1-5 pick and roll, with a point guard at the top of the key and a center rushing up to set a screen, is not only the most popular, but the most important play in the game of basketball these days. For the Thunder, it’s a staple, and for good reason. Russell Westbrook is one of the most dynamic playmakers in the league, and Steven Adams is perhaps the most robust, capable screener in the NBA. In the second unit, it’s the quick, lanky Jerami Grant rolling to the rim, with both Paul George and Raymond Felton finding him for easy buckets.
