”One, being healthy coming off an injury. I’ve been battling for quite a few months now, so just really showing that I’m back healthy, back to myself. But then also showing the level of competition that I play with night in and night out and just being consistent with that.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”I would say being able to attack from all three levels of the floor, get my teammates involved, but also being able to guard multiple positions and being disruptive on the defensive end.””Yes, I feel like my playmaking has gotten better—being able to make reads out of the pick-and-roll, making simple reads, but also creating open looks for my teammates.””Oh man, this is a fun group. A lot of energy, a lot of personalities on this team, but I feel like everybody has one goal and that’s to get better, but everybody’s trying to win here.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”That I’m serious about basketball. I’ve taken care of my body. It’s never really been a talent thing; it’s just really been an opportunity, getting in the best shape. So, just really showing I got in shape and can come out here and lead a team and try to get the championship and win.””Just getting into better shape and being able to apply a lot of pressure on defense—being able to pick up 94 feet. I feel like this last game, I think I had five steals, so I was able just to go out there and impact winning in different ways.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”For the most part, I’m just a guy who goes out there and plays basketball the right way. No matter what level of basketball it is, I always play the right way. I feel like I’m a scoring point guard who can also facilitate and get others involved. Really, just a floor spacer being able to shoot the ball beyond the three-point line. Yeah, just really finding ways to impact winning. I’m a winner, so I just want to win.””I feel like we’ve jelled pretty good. We got some time in Orlando before we got down here. When we first got down here, we had a scrimmage against the Raptors. Just from that day on, every day we’ve gotten better, just improving, hanging out around the hotel, building out camaraderie and stuff off the floor. So, it’s just carrying over to the court. Our last game went to overtime and it’s just a testament to show guys trust the coaches and guys trust each other, and that’s what happened. Came out with a win.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementJoin the CommunityDon’t miss out on our ROUNDTABLE community and the latest news!
