I feel that if it's that high, and if I feel like I like college enough and my team is going to be successful next year, I think I could raise my stock if I came back, win some games and get everybody on a national level. If you win games, you can get everyone recognition.
Steven plays a big role for us inside. His defense is great and he takes up a lot of space when he blocks out so that it helps everyone on our team rebound. And he's got great timing for blocking shots.
Whether Eric comes off the bench or starts, he gives our team a spark on offense or defense. He?s been a true senior leader.
You've just got to play through that. That's basketball. I think we're a big enough team to play through that.
I want to help the team in all areas - distributing the ball, making steals, getting rebounds. But one thing coach wanted me to do this year was to be more aggressive and put up points.
Being able to read each other and trying to find each other on the court makes our team better. We're trying to step up as leaders and captains of the team. It's really important for us to make the NCAA Tournament.
