I have the mind-set that a guard can't stick me. So I watch the bigs and see how they like to play. If you're a shot blocker, then I jump into you. If you take charges, then I pull up for the midrange.
Besides shooting, I think I need to work on everything. I need to get stronger, quicker, work on my ballhandling, and develop a go-to move.
There are a lot of things that make Kyrie's game unstoppable. But his ability to ad-lib and come up with things on the fly is special.
With all the pick-and-rolls in the NBA, getting in the lane and shooting floaters or pull-ups will help a lot.
Wiggle is kinda like a word that I feel like I coined. It's being able to maneuver in and out, around defenders with the basketball.
My type of basketball is about how to create space, how to maneuver, how to get your shot off.
When you go into a game on offense, you make a couple moves and see what the defender is going to do. Then you pretty much can figure out what he is going to do against you - whether he carries his hands low or high, whether he is bumping or pushing, those type of things.
I'm one of those players who loves to dribble the ball, to run at people.
Guys like Andre Miller and Kevin Garnett - they're posting up hoping a second guy will run at them so they can pass. You're better just playing one-on-one in the post if you can.
I think it's getting proven I've got good mechanics; I make my free throws. I handle the ball, too. I can do a lot of things I didn't do in college.
There are certain guys in the league that get their rhythm off their dribble.
Street basketball is all about shakes and fakes, crossing your defender up. The NBA is more strategic.
Just knowing how to get to my spots - that's the key. Once I get to my main spots, I feel like I have a lot of options I can go to - keep on driving, pass, or shoot. I just feel like if I can get to those spots, I can play my game.
I'm not the fastest player, but you can't really play up on me because my handles are good enough where I can get around you. But you can't play off of me, because I can shoot. And if smaller guys try to defend me, I'll back them down. I'm a good post player.
I'm not a guy who makes five or 10 moves. I'm just more of a simple, straight-line driver, just try to be crafty with my dribble and keep it tight.
