When you play guard, you're not going to block a lot of shots. Inside, you're going to block shots.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The idea is not to block every shot. The idea is to make your opponent believe that you might block every shot.
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.
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.
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.
It's how I've been playing my whole life, guarding the best player on the other team.
I'm a big guy, but I play with a guard mentality. I got that from my dad, and it's always stayed with me.
I'm a guy that can play three downs. You don't have to take me off the field. I value blocking.
Our centers spread the floor, shoot the three and block shots. We can play pick and pop.
There's only a couple stats that matter. No one cares how many blocked shots a guy has, how many hits.
Ninety percent of the coaches in the NBA are guards, and there aren't very many big men people coaching, I happen to be one of them and when I coached, everybody on my team, including the guards, had a hook shot, so that it was their bail out shot.
