basketball catching defense easy focused good gotten improvement kids needs offense scoring
He's really good at catching and scoring with the basketball. I don't think we've gotten it to him enough; I would like our kids to find him a little more. He has made it easy for us, and I've really focused on our offense this year, which is why I think that our defense is what needs improvement now.
