Embedded below are 4 pick & roll concepts I picked up after watching Argentina’s performance in the Rio Olympics.
-“Away Step” (including clips of the Spurs and Hawks running a similar action)
-“Wiggle” Action: a designed twist (late change of screening angle)
-Screening tactic used by Luis Scola where he opens up out of his stance early to create a longer path for the guard defender trying to fight over the top.
-“Snap” Action (LINK)
