We struggled staying consistent at times playing against competition we took for granted. I'd say I had a pretty solid season this year as my role changed on the team from last year. I averaged around 23ppg and had a 40 point game including four 30+ point games. I realize there are areas in my game that I need to improve.rnrnu003cemu003eWhat was the biggest obstacle you and your team faced this season?u003c/emu003ernrn-The biggest obstacle our team faced this season was trying to stay healthy with all the sicknesses that was going around.rnrnu003cemu003eWhat do you think you improved most on the court?u003c/emu003ernrn-I improved most this season on using my ability to attack the rim and also go to my pull up jumper to have other weapons and be a tougher threat. My footwork and athleticism was a big factor that helped me with my finishing at the rim this season.rnrnu003cemu003eWhat are you looking to improve before next season?u003c/emu003ernrn-I am looking to improve my all-around game. I've realized there is so much more to impact the game then just scoring so for me I will improve my rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks to fill out the stat line and be a big impact to my team and be all around.rnrnu003cemu003eWho are some teammates that you think stood out this season? Who are some teammates who could have breakout years next year in your eyes?u003c/emu003ernrn-Two teammates who stood out this season where [player_tooltip player_id='1270692' first='Braiden' last='Boyd'] and Kellen Reinhart. Some teammates who are going to catch some eyes and have a breakout year are Point Guard Isaac Wilson and PF Ryan Rainville.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1587996"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cemu003eHow do you think your team and yourself performed throughout this season?u003c/emu003ernrn-I think our team did pretty good this year. We definitely had our ups and downs but overall we accomplished most of our goals. We built a brotherhood and played for each other every night. We got ourselves back into state for the first time in a decade and that was a good ending to the season for us.rnrnu003cemu003eWhat was the biggest obstacle you and your team faced this season?u003c/emu003ernrn-I would say our biggest obstacle was decently going on a 0-4 streak at the beginning of the season. Losing our rivalry game really set us back and from there we couldn't get going. We our big to an injury 2 games after that and that made things worse. It was definitely a challenge for us.rnrnu003cemu003eWhat do you think you improved most on the court?u003c/emu003ernrn-I think I improved the most in my defense. I got more active on defense and faster the light the season, really being able to anticipate the guards and stay on their best players.rnrnu003cemu003eWhat are you looking to improve before next season?u003c/emu003ernrn-Before next season I would like to improve my shooting for sure that's one thing I feel like once I get knockdown constant shot I'll be harder to guard. I'm able to make open and contested jumpers already but I would like to get better at it.rnrnu003cemu003eWho are some teammates that you think stood out this season? Who are some teammates who could have breakout years next year in your eyes?u003c/emu003ernrn-I think [player_tooltip player_id='1450959' first='Quinn' last='Swanson'] had a good season for sure being face guarded still going off every night he was a good contributor to the team and I think he has a very bright future. I think Quinn and Xavier will have a breakout season Quinn senior year he's definitely looking to come out strong and do what he does. Xavier's gotten a lot better and improved his basketball IQ and shot filling in big spot for us next year excited to see them do good.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":3,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-646998de28bd3"} /-->
