8. Something else about you?
For me, it would be fine to be in a team where I might start as a number 5, 6 or 7 player. I want to be in a competitive team where it will be very difficult for me to be in the starting lineup at the beginning. This will help me to push myself even more in practice and get better as a player. I need to be in a competitive team if I want to go pro after my college career. It would help me more than if I were playing right away as a number 1 or number 2 player for a team.
