Defensive Breakdown

A Defensive Swiss Knife

Anybody who played against me knows I'm a witty and tenacious defender.

Since I started playing, I've always guarded the opposite team's best players, from point guard to center, unless there is a particular circumstance.

I am not afraid of getting "embarrassed"; I play to win, not to look good.

I'm quick on my feet and have enough reflexes to defend effectively and even shut down guards, probably due to my kickboxing experience.

I am tall, strong and have a long enough wingspan to guard effectively most forwards and centers.

I'm also a leader on defense, reading strategies, and communicating how to defend particular cases with my teammates.

I'm highly aware of everything happening on the floor, and I analyze each player and system run to adapt.

It may not look seem obvious going through the blog, but I tend to put way more energy on defense than offense, I only score when it’s really needed.

I can be a pest for team offenses and individual players.

Finally, I'm a great help defender, with superior reading, timing, and baiting for blocks and interceptions.
