Keeping the game simple. Reading the closeouts. Because, I'll be primarily off the ball - to catch and shoot, straight line drive, or get to the second level and make the read from there.
I think this part of the year is all development and trying to see all that you can bring. And then once we get to the season, then trying to figure out a role.
Defend. Defend. Defend. Defend - you ain't gotta tell me that.
