What is the difference so far from last season? Do you see anything different off the top of your head?
Josh for the group: “I would say I think we’re trying to play a little faster, a little more up-tempo. We scored a lot of points last year, but I think coach wants to even push the envelope a little more and get up and down and let us play free and let us show our best abilities to the people who are watching.”
What did you focus on in your summer workouts to get better if anything?
Vander, “I spent a lot of the summer working on ball handling and shooting, I really didn’t do much on finishing, I’m pretty solid about that. I wanted to make sure I get my shot a little better than it was last year and really work on handling the ball so I can get to better spots and get guys in a better position.”
Justin, “Me? Working better at close outs. With a lot of my shooting ability, people flying at me, being able to attack the rim off the dribble, and finishing off catching in pick and roll situations, and finishing and making reads.”
Josh, “I worked on my strength, this is the heaviest I have ever been. I then just being able to knock down open shots, I think I shot 33 or 34 from three last year.” He made a half court shot with ease at practice by the way.
