“I think one of the most overlooked things about being a good shooter is being able to shoot in game-like situations. You have to be able to shoot on the move."
"I try to emulate our offense as best as I can and emulate our transition game as best as I can so the shots they’re getting in our drills are the same shots they’re going to get in the game."
