JCF: So what’s the big focus for you this summer? When we see you back here for training camp in October, what will you be able to do then that you couldn’t do this past season?
CP: I want to work on three things in particular. I’m going to work on all aspects of my shot: 3-pointers, spot shooting, free throws -- just being a more consistent shooter because I think once I get guys scared that I can shoot the ball, that will open up my whole game and make it easier for me to pass, penetrate and get to the hole. So I definitely want to be more of a consistent shooter.
Secondly, I want to get stronger. When these bigger guys post me up on the block and I slide to the four, I need to be able to handle my own down there. It’s a physical game so obviously added strength will help me.
And then third, just ball handling. I want to be in pick-and-rolls next year, I want to have the ball in my hands and I want to be comfortable making plays for others and getting guys the ball. So those three things are going to be what I’m focusing on and working extremely hard on.
very good news for rockets fans. he's been a great surprise. compensates for marcus morris' bad rookie year. some of you prematurely call him the white lebron james. i dunno about that, but he has potential to be a poor mans white lebron james. if his off season training pays off, he's gonna be one helluva sophmore player, definitely a keeper
