Interview with Dustin McEvoy

Today Cam Finnell and I were privileged enough to speak with Dustin McEvoy about being ranked the number one BIG Guy in our preseason rankings.

Q: How do you feel about being rated as GDRecBBall's #1 BIG Man?
DM: It's an honor, and I will do everything in my power to live up to the hype.

Q: Is there anything you would like to say to those who don't think that you deserve to be ranked #1?
DM: I'll let my play do the talking.

Q: How do you feel about your biggest competitor, in terms of BIG Man rankings, Zack Dhionis?
DM: He's a talented player and a valuable edition to any rec bball team.

Q: Do you feel that someone was overlooked in the rankings of BIG Guys?
DM: I think AJ Wright is underrated. He's one of the best BIG Guys in the league. He plays great defense and has dynamic post moves.

Q: What is your most valuable skill as a player, and what do you think you need to work on to improve your game?
DM: My most valuable skill is lock-down defense, because defense is the most important part of the game. I need to improve my post moves, as I've been blessed with height and I need to learn to take advantage of it more.

Q: Have you made a decision between rec and school basketball?
DM: I have not yet made a decision, but I plan on making one within the next two weeks.

Q: Do you have a favorite rec basketball moment from the past?
DM: I'd have to go with winning the championship in 8th grade.

Q: Finally, what are your expectations for the upcoming season?
DM: I expect to win. If you don't play to win, then there's no reason to play.

Thank you to Dustin for the interview and good luck to him this year.

Tonight I will put up the forwards rankings, and have an announcement as to when the first week of games are tentatively scheduled for, so stay tuned for that. Don't forget to vote in the poll on the sidebar to rank your #1 BIG Man, it's a close race as of now. Voice your opinion!
