Q. Last year, your team was probably a little bit underperforming offensively, whereas the defense surprised people with how good it was. What was the reason for that?

A. I think our defense was just the committed mission and focus on changing the Warriors’ historically bad defensive results. I think we really paid attention to details, stuck to the principles that were laid out Day 1 and built on those. We didn’t have to adjust as much game to game because we tried to impose our will.

And then offensively we had a lot of talent, and that was the first year we had so many guys that could score. And I think over all we played well — just in certain situations, especially most fourth quarters, trying to figure out what play call to run, it did get a little stagnant. We did find ways to still win games, but I think people just think with all the talent we had, we could have been a little better. But we still won 51 games. Just have to build on it this year.

Q. When you look back at last season, what do you want to change about your game?

A. Really it’s just as a point guard, valuing the basketball. I make a lot of decisions. I try to be a playmaker on almost every play, just kind of by nature of the position. So I’m working on turnovers and valuing each possession. That’s what separates the good teams from the really good teams, from the championship teams. I think we were bottom five in turnovers last year, so I got to set the tone when it comes to that because we’re too good, too talented to let possessions go like that. And that might have been a huge reason our offense was underperforming statistically. That would be a good change in the right direction.

Q. You have an uncanny ability to make deep shots, even when relatively well guarded. When you can make those tough shots, how do you determine what a good shot is?
