What they’re saying

“Obviously, shooting. Coming from last season [shooting] 25 percent from three in college to whatever I'm at right now, I'm feeling very, very confident in that aspect of the game. That makes me happy. And obviously, a lot of work has been going into my defense. I think I'm making strides there… Obviously, it might take some time to be stable with that and more consistent, but I think I'm better than I was at the start of the season, which is most important.”
