Spain pick-and-roll is one of the flavors of the day in the NBA right now. Most teams have some sort of Spain action in their playbooks but as defenses are more experienced against it, the base version of the play isn’t enough anymore. Since Spain pick-and-roll forces defenses to play a slightly different coverage than they traditionally do, it’s important for the three players involved to communicate well and set up adequately in the various positions needed to take away all three options. For offenses, this means they need to be more creative about the deceptive pre-action before they work the Spain pick-and-roll.
