Lifts/picks him up
A fight. Sean has knocked down a man. Then...
Sean grabs him, lifts him (up)/picks him up, and throws him into/against a wall.
1) Can I use both "lifts" and "picks" here or is one more natural to use when lifting/picking up something as heavy as a man?
2) Can I use both "into" and "against"?
