- Defensive Anchor: Match up against top scorers. Your speed, agility, and Gold Challenger make it easy to funnel players into help defense.
- Slash Selectively: Combine off-ball cuts with dribble attacks. Exploit defensive rotations to find clean shot opportunities.
- Selective Three-Point Shooting: Only take open threes. This build thrives inside 18 feet, not beyond the arc.
