When I'm playing the 1-guard, teams do a great job of just loading up and preparing for my drives and preparing for my three-point shots.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I'm playing the 1-guard, I'm kind of seeing everything that's going on. When I play the 2, I have a more broader understanding of what's going on and where the screens are being set in order for not only myself to get open, but for my teammates.
The NBA has the best point guards in the world, so it is important that I come ready to play every night.
Every play, I'm trying to get as many shots on the opposing team as I can, so when you get to the fourth quarter, they obviously don't want to be on the field anymore.
Sometimes I relax on defense and not understand I can't do that. Night in and night out, you're playing some of the best point guards in the world. That's something I'm continuing to work on and continue to develop my lower body, get quicker and more explosive.
On the court, I want to try and get to the free-throw line a little more. And as a point guard, you can always get better at your decision-making and limiting your mistakes.
When you play guard, you're not going to block a lot of shots. Inside, you're going to block shots.
I loved coming up with players in scoring position and I had to drive them in.
As a member of a competitive team, you want to make sure you have yourself ready to play. You don't control anything but what you do.
Our centers spread the floor, shoot the three and block shots. We can play pick and pop.
I basically try to visualize the team doing good things on the court the night before the game. I get shots up. There's not actually a pregame ritual that I do. I'm still trying to figure that out. I say a prayer. I go out with confidence.
