Another one of these long player profile articles from Mike Anthony. I still swear he gets paid by the word.
“In high school, I never realized that I was as good as a defender as I am now because I didn't have to guard the ball as much,” he said. “I was like the biggest player on my team, so I probably had to guard other players, bigger players, go get the rebound and push. Now that I'm playing with a full, complete team, I can really show my talents and my skills on that end and our coaches give us great scouts every game. That's helped me a lot, just being able to have that kind of trust to go guard the other team's best player. It’s cool to know that we have one of the best defenses in the country and that you can be the head of that snake.”
