Throughout the day, I looked into a few Pitt players and watched some film from the past couple of years.
The four players I keyed in on were Cam Corhen, Damian Dunn, Ishmael Leggett, and Guillermo Diaz Graham.
With Diaz Graham, I found that he hit 22 of his 55 three-point attempts in pick-and-roll (in this case, pick-and-pop) situations.
With Dunn, I looked at some of his tape from 2022-23 at Temple. That year, he went 40 for 102 from downtown on catch-and-shoot three-point tries.
With Leggett, the numbers that stood out were his inside scoring numbers. He was 32 for 67 on two-point attempts when running the pick and roll a season ago.
With Corhen, I grabbed some film of him rolling, slipping, and cutting to the basket. He will pose a unique threat to defenses in the P&R that we haven’t seen at Pitt in years (and, they’re saying he can step out and shoot it well, too).
Can they play defense ?
