What is a Moving Pick?
In basketball, a moving pick, also known as a moving screen, is considered a violation. It occurs when an offensive player attempts to block or 'screen' a defender from reaching another player on his team by moving. According to basketball rules, picks or screens should be set while standing still. Once set, the player can't move until the teammate being guarded has moved around the screen. If the player setting the pick moves before this happens, it's called a moving pick and a foul will be called.
