You can't really measure your game. You can shoot seven under and lose and you can shoot even and win.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You can't quantify everything a player does to win games.
I think my game measures up pretty well to myself.
I play with a lot of guys who say they're a five handicap, and they shoot 110. And then you play with guys who say they are a 20 and they shoot 75.
Scoring a lot of points is great when you win, but when you lose it doesn't matter.
If I want to average 32 points a game, I can do that easily. It's just eight, eight, eight, eight. No problem. I can do that anytime. That's not being cocky. That's confidence.
You have got to shoot, otherwise you can't score.
I'm a numbers guy, and I think numbers sometimes tell stories and sometimes they don't. When you look at the NBA, when teams shoot 45% or better from the floor, what is their record? And if they shoot under that what is their record?
You can lose when you outscore somebody in a game. And you can win when you're outscored.
The fact is that everybody around a college basketball game - the coaches, the announcers, even the referees at a lower level - calculates when the game is really over. They calculate it with intuition and guesswork.
I came in the league as not a shooter, not a scorer. My game was to play defense and make my teammates better. The most important stat to me was that left column - winning. Nothing else matters.
