He’s a difference maker when he plays that way for our team , it totally changes the dynamic for our offense , our defense . I don’t think there’s anybody like him in the country when he plays that way. I thought our guards did a really good job defending the ball but Carrington (Carlton) also missed some shots . I thought it was the best we defended on the perimeter.
