To go on further the pick and roll, look at the Draftexpress writeups on Shabazz, Kemba, and AJP, all writeups mention how they're already proficient at running the pick and roll, last I checked George Blaney was an assistant during all of their careers.

With the ball in his hands, Napier still operates largely out of pick and roll sets. He does a solid job shooting off the pick and can also find the open man. Napier has decent court vision and creativity coming off the pick, able to hit both big men diving to the hoop and stationed three point shooters.

Walker is noted for his strong intangibles and has showed improved leadership skills this season. He seems to enjoy making his teammates better and there's no reason to think that won't continue in the NBA where he'll be surrounded by more talented players. The fact that he's already a prolific pick-and-roll threat will only make his transition to the next level easier.

The other top asset that Price owns as a prospect is his ability to run the pick and roll. A very efficient guard, he does an outstanding job of making the proper reads when coming off of ball screens. This will obviously prove key for him at the next level considering that the majority of NBA teams run the pick and roll for a large part of the game.

Couldn't agree more with the previous two posters. In recent years under Calhoun, and definitely last year too, I would bet that at least one high ball screen is set on about 80% of Uconn's possessions. It's unquestionably the biggest part of the offense.

Nice to watch. But that looks like one of those no defense scrimmages where guys run up and down the court scoring 200 points and dunking without anyone attempting to guard the rim.

I think it tells nothing about Phil's offense except that he can dunk on air.
