In MyCAREER practice, open Playmaking and select Pick and Roll Combo. Use Jock Landale’s side screen to get open, make the pass shown in the on-screen prompt, then stand fully inside the orange shooting circle until it fills. Move to your shooting spot and make the jump shot. A correct pass and a made shot each earn one point.

How to complete the Pick and Roll Combo drill

  1. Open the drill: In MyCAREER practice, go to Playmaking and choose Pick and Roll Combo.
  2. Use the screen: Wait for Jock Landale to set the side screen, then move off it to get open on the perimeter.
  3. Follow the pass prompt: Check the instruction at the bottom of the screen and make that pass. The prompt may call for a regular pass, bounce pass, or alley-oop, and the required type can change from rep to rep.
  4. Fill the shooting circle: After passing, move fully inside the orange circle and stay there until it fills. Being near the circle is not enough.
  5. Take the shot: Once the circle fills, move to your preferred shooting position and take the jump shot.

How the drill scores

The guide reports one point for a correct pass and one point for a made shot. You can earn two points on a rep by completing both actions. A made shot alone does not establish that you completed the circle requirement, so wait for the fill indicator before moving to shoot.

What to do if a rep does not register

  • The pass action misses: Use the pass type shown in the current on-screen prompt rather than relying on the previous rep’s instruction.
  • The shooting-circle action misses: Move completely inside the orange circle and remain there until it fills before taking the jump shot.

Pick and Roll Combo is not the 2-on-2 drill

Pick and Roll Combo uses a prompted pass and a shooting-circle step. The separate Pick & Roll: 2-on-2 practice option is described as a standard pick-and-roll possession without a randomized pass prompt. Nerd’s Chalk lists its scoring as +50 for an assist, +50 for a two-point score, +75 for a three-pointer, and −25 for a turnover or miss; those values belong to that separate drill, not Combo.
