WJ: "It's nice for our entire team and staff to have a guy like that. A five man that can really shoot the ball and open up the floor for his teammates. I think it's nice not just for Justice or Darius, I think for everyone. For Paris to be able to get to the rim the way that he does. You put Connor in the corner, you put Connor at the top, and they have to come out and respect that, they have to come out and guard him. And so, it opens up the floor for everyone to be able to drive and finish at the rim without having to be congested by a five man. Having him out there is a weapon. Not just his shooting, but he does a great job finishing around the rim as well. He dunks the ball continuously throughout the last couple games and so anytime a big steps up, you can throw him a lob, you can dump it off to him, he will finish. Made the biggest play of the game in our game against Stanford when he got the and-1 when they cut it to three. So, he's not just shooting. He's rim protecting, he's knocking down fifteen footers, he's finishing at the rim, he's doing a lot of things besides shooting."
I would add that he is a zone buster, and was our secret weapon vs UW's zone defense. A really unique player that teams have to account for now.
