Last year, anywhere I caught the ball on the 3-point line, they were double-teaming me, so I'm sure he'll look at some schemes again this year…But I'm sure he's going to throw a lot of bodies at me. So I've got to be ready for anything with Pop. He's a defensive genius, and he comes up with a lot of coverages. I've just got to take what they give me."
