Wizards SideOut Pick and Roll for John Wall

Posted: November 3, 2010 in Basketball, Basketball-PickRoll, Basketball-SideOut, Plays

The Washington Wizards used this quick hit set last night on a Side Out inbounds situation to get a quick Pick and Roll opportunity for superstar sensation John Wall.  Wall starts on the ball side block and flashes hard to the ball for the catch.  If overplayed, Wall will simply go backdoor for a dunk.  On the weak side of the court there is some downscreen action to occupy the weakside defenders.  Once Wall has the ball, the center flashes hard to the ball setting up a pick and roll opportunity.  It all happened so fast that the defense was a bit defenseless.  John Wall went on to score 29 points, with 13 assists and 9 steals in the Wizards home opener, and first victory of the season.  Trouble defending wall was one of many problems for the 0-4 Philadelphia 76ers.
