“I don't think you ever want to be too settled, because once you become settled, you lose a lot of your drive.

I need to work on being more demanding in the post. My teammates are going to come to me and I just need to go out there and score in the post, which will open up things for our guards.” ThinkingWantNeedsMeanHas BeensSportsSidesLosesTerriblePaperCourtPostsShootingScoreContractsPapersTeammateFree Throw Author:Andrew Bogut
