Setting A Pick!

How to correctly set a pick on offense.

The first thing is do not set the pick on the side of the player you are running towards. Take two extra steps, run behind them, and set the pick on the opposite side. The advantage is now your dribbler is not run straight into your defensive man. You just picked off two players and give the dribbler a clear path to the basket.

Do not set the pick from your left if you are facing away from your basket. Run from your right side and set it like I described. You do this because if you run from your right, set the pick on the opposite side, your ballhandler now has a clear path dribbling to their right and using their strong hand.

Done correctly, the dribbler is wide open for at least a second and can shoot.

It won't show up on the stats, but helping your team score lots of points will put a smile on your face.

Have Fun!
