I played guard my whole life, and liked having the ball in my hands.
I played point guard my whole life.
I'm used to having the ball, man. So, not really having the ball in my hands... it's just me trying to find different ways to impact the game.
Having more freedom to bring the ball up and have the ball in my hands, just trusting me with the ball, that was one of the big things. My rookie year, I didn't have that. Just having that trust in me, just working and them seeing that I'm getting better at it, that I'm capable, that was kind of like a changing point for me.
I played the two guard in college, and playing point guard is what I've done all my life.
I've always considered myself a crunch-time player. I just love having the ball in my hands. Everyone in the arena knows the ball is supposed to be in your hands and you still make it. It's the odds. I love the odds.
I feel more comfortable with the ball in my hands, playing the point guard. But I like playing the 2, too. I think I bring tough defense and the ability to score and also get my teammates the ball to score.
I'm a point guard, I've always been a point guard, I've played point guard all my life. Personally, I feel the best point guards make other players look better and create their own shot. I fit in that category.
I'm a 6'1' guard, but I'm blessed to have a wingspan of 6'7'. I have good lateral movement. For me, fighting over screens and using my hands, I kind of get tips on the ball. People don't understand getting a hand on the ball - not just stealing it - means a lot, especially in this league because everything happens so fast.
To be a point guard, to run the team and have the ball in my hands and try to make plays for others - that's who I am.
With the ball in your hands as the point guard, you want to be able to control the game and take care of it.
Definitely, my whole life I've played as a point guard. I've tried to get in the paint, and I've tried to develop for others.
When I get the rebound - push the ball. That couple of seconds when you're trying to find the point guard, you're losing in transition. You rebound, push the ball and the whole game is faster.
I grew six, seven inches in junior year of high school, so I played guard my whole life growing up. So I think there's where I got my skill set from.
It's natural to me. I played point guard my whole life up until my senior year of high school. Most people don't know that. It's just in my game.
My whole life I played the point, so naturally I think as a point. Two guard, I get to score more... During the game, I like to mix it up.
Having the ball is how you score, so I like having it in my hands.
