Last season, the Portland Trail Blazers ran 1,919 pick and rolls – that’s over 23 per game. Teams generally get around 100 possessions per game, meaning the Blazers run pick and rolls on nearly a quarter of its trips down the floor.
Damian Lillard and Jusuf Nurkic spearhead the team’s PnR movement; 47.6% of Lillard’s and 27.6% of Nurkic’s possessions involved a pick and roll.
The Blazers offense benefitted from their two-man play. Lillard scored on 44.6% of his attempts after going around a screen, and Nurkic scored on 51.
