NBA 2K12

Couldn't see a 2k13 thread, and I didn't want to start a new one for a basic question.

What's the best (read: simplest) MyPlayer position for a novice fan? I watch a few games (more highlights), but I'm not massively up on the X's and O's past knowing what a pick and roll is (although I've no idea what the variants like pick and pop are). Basically I want to understand what my goals are and how to achieve them and not get marked down for calling for passes and trying to steal at the wrong time.

Pick and roll = Big(ger) man sets pick, guy with the ball dribbles past the pick towards the basket. From there you can continue to drive the lane, dish to the guy who set the pick as he rolls, or find any of your other 3 teammates as one would come open as the defense collapses.

Pick and pop = Pick is the same, but the intent here is for the ball handler to drive his man to the pick and then pull up for an uncontested midrange jumper.

Most offensive basketball plays revolve around someone (or multiple guys on offense) setting a screen (or more) to get an open shot, or an isolation where the ball handler has part of the court freed up to operate one on one.
