How is that a benefit when you're setting a screen? You ain't gonna get a pass.

Puts you in position for the pick and roll faster and you start with your hands up.

What? what does having your hands up have to do with the pick and roll? I was taught never to verbalize or show that you are open... especially on this play... If I set a screen, and was open, the ball-handler better get me the ball, because he should be looking at me right after the pick... and you would normally get a bounce pass off a pick and roll
