pick-and-pop

Screen then fade

Pick-and-pop is a basketball play where an offensive player sets a screen, then instead of rolling toward the basket, steps back ("pops") to an open spot on the floor to receive a pass for a jump shot.

The play exploits defenders who commit too heavily to the ball handler: He's deadly on the pick-and-pop from the elbow.
