NI: When did you start playing basketball?

MM: I started playing basketball when I was nine years old.

NI: What are some of your strengths on the basketball court? MM: I can shoot the 3 from anywhere, I can take my matchups off the dribble and I can draw fouls. I always give 100% on the defensive end.

NI: What are some of your weaknesses on the court or areas you think you could improve?

MM: I can work better on my court vision when I’m being double-teamed.

NI: Who do you model your game after?

MM: I don’t really have a player I model my game after. I just get little parts from players I watch and try to make them my own.

NI: What do you plan on doing with basketball in the future?

MM: I want to play college ball at any level, but preferably division one. I plan to study sports medicine.

NI: How do you feel about your team? (Florida Future)

MM: We are all really good, I’m confident that almost all of us can play in college level basketball. I think we will be successful because we have a great coach that brings out the best of us and helps us get better in order to succeed.
