Offensive strategies questions

[BB Brand]

Let's say I pick "pace and space". Both "drive" types are maxed. Does this mean that the computer will give the ball to the guys who drive to the basket the most so they can do their stuff? "Post up" (whatever that means) has the lowest stat. Does this mean the computer will give the ball to the guys who post up the least?
What is "pick and roll?"
Does "ball movement" mean there will be a lot of passing?
"Post up shots" is shots near the basket?
"Drive and shoot" is what LeBron does a lot?
What is "pull up jumpers"?
"Catch and shoot" is 3-pointer frequency?

The offenses attempt to emphasize certain actions, not players. So if you choose pace and space that maxes out the drive options it means each player is going to be tasked with driving more often than he normally would.

A post up is when a player (typically a big player) will sit in the areas near the basket and the outside players attempt to pass him the ball so that he gets it close to the basket.

A pick and roll happens when a player (usually a big player) comes out to the area at the free throw line or higher and sets a screen (the pick) for the player with the ball attempting to free the player for a shot or a drive to the basket. Once the screen is completed the first player than can "roll" by heading towards the basket for a pass.

Ball movement does mean there will be more passing than usual

Drive and shoot means the player will look to create a shot for himself after he has attempted to drive to the basket while the drive and kick (pass) option means a player wants to drive to draw the attention of the defense but looks to pass to someone who is open because the defense is helping off of them.

Pull up jumpers are when a player maybe takes one or two dribbles and then shoots a jump shot while catch and shoot means the player typically doesn't dribble - he just catches it and shoots it. Either could represent a three point shot.
