absolutely ball bounce field game games greatest happens impact move player regroup scared somebody time
I think I could be an impact player this season, ... When I'm out on the field, I'm not scared of anyone. I'm just going to move the ball -- boom-boom , one-touch, two-touch -- and when the right time comes and I've got somebody one-on-one, I'll take him. But I'm not always going to have the greatest game of my life. There's going to be games when I absolutely suck. That happens to everybody. So it'll be up to me to regroup and try to find a way to bounce back.
