When I don't have control of the ball, what do I do? I press to get it back. It's a way of defending.
When there's pressure on the ball, you can go man-to-man on your striker; you've got the advantage because the ball pressure means it'll be a difficult pass to play.
The one bad thing sometimes when you switch 1 through 5, guys think it's easier and they relax. You have to be just as aggressive. If we're going to switch 1 through 5 we got to meet that point of entry at the ball and be physical.
When you touch the ball 400 times per game, it's normal that you can lose the ball a couple of times.
I think I'm pretty good at pressuring the ball, forcing turnovers.
In high school, I figured I'd get a few extra baskets by getting steals. I would just pressure up the ball.
Especially going from an attacking player to a defensive player, your whole mindset has to change. You have to work on one-v-one defending versus one-v-one attacking.
If you watch me during the game, I celebrate when we press the ball and it goes out.
