DIME: Going into next year, what are your expectations of yourself? You don’t know exactly what your role is going to be. What steps are you trying to take to make yourself a better player?
DA: Like I said, I’ve learned a lot from Coach Brown these last two years and I know what he wants me to do. So, I’ve just been working on my mid-range game and playing defense, getting quicker and getting stronger to play bigger guards. I’ve been working on a floater because I get beat up a lot going to the goal and I never get a foul call so…

that's good that he will be at summer league

That was a very good read. Glad he seems to have his focus, and he said the right things. Would dearly love to see him develope a floater like Tony Parker. That would make all the difference in the world in his game.

i think DJ is going to have a big year if Felton leaves....both the Bobcats and the Panthers are going to have very interesting years, I can't wait

Thank God.

But is he playing in SL? Or just working with the team?

[Plowright]

Think he is just working out, he said he was doing summer workouts, not summer league. Also he says he gets back in charlotte around the end of August. I am CERTAIN infact he isnt playing SL

Great read, always good to get some insight to the players. Developing the floater would be great.

Good to see that he's working hard on his game. Hopefully we see a more skilled, bigger, faster, stronger DJ. He already bulked up quite well over the season, gaining some good muscle. Hopefully he comes to camp looking even better.

Him and Lexy need to live with Sean May for about 3-4 months so they can learn where to get extra calories :) Then we would be set.

[Ghost Kat]

Yes, Please DJ get a floater...It's rough wanting him go into the paint. He's got to either start pulling up sooner or learn how to play with broken bones. Those floors are hard, Unlike my middle school gym which had rubber floor. It was like playing on top of a million erasers

Tatoo, you got me thinking with that one, and unfortunately methinks you got it backwards. Sean May would steal any extra scrap of food away from DJ and Lexy. While Sean was here players stayed skinny. Last year he left and DJ, Lexy, Hulk, and Jax added muscle while Boris and Raymond also filled out some more. Sean is more a diet plan than a mass-building plan for those he is around.
