I knew coming in that I would play on the perimeter a lot so during the summer I started working on my ball-handling skills to get ready. I try to get better every day. The game is at a faster and quicker pace. Every night you have to be prepared to play well because every team is good.
Every player is a threat.
More than ever the defensive pressure has been turned up, and that's something to adjust to. I did expect the Pac-10 to be tough. Every team in the Pac-10 is competitive, and that's good. I think it's important to stay positive because we have a good team. We're off to a slow start, but we know what we need to accomplish.
