Dick Weiss of the New York Daily News has a great article on Corey Fisher’s maturation process. Weiss talks about how Fisher came in with such high expectations because of his high school exploits, but quickly learned that the NCAA game can be a big wake up call.
“Last year I wouldn’t pay attention to details,” Fisher said. “If you were to tell me I had to play defense, I didn’t take it that seriously. Then, people started scoring on me. It’s almost like the high shcool bully who picks on you, picks on you, picks on you. After a while, I just had enough. I realized if I wanted to play, I had to stop my man.”
Weiss also mentions Fisher’s relationship to Mike Nardi and St. Patrick’s (NJ), as well as Fisher’s improved mentality off the court.
…That quote for me says it all…Corey Fisher gets it…and I totally agree with this article, because last year Fisher was a liability on defense…but this year he’s been a lot more alert and it’s led to increased playing time…
