After being waived by Dallas following two seasons, former first-round pick Olivier-Maxence Prosper has enjoyed a strong breakout campaign with the Grizzlies, averaging 10.0 points while shooting .549/.405/.754.
In a conversation with Ben Steele of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Prosper emphasized the importance of identifying his “niche” and building from there.
“For me, it was focusing on my ability to guard multiple positions and be versatile on both sides of the ball,” the former Marquette forward said.
“Offensively, you can put me as a three, four, five. And defensively, I can guard one through five. So that’s been my calling card. Now you can add to your game after that.
“Add to your shooting, add to your bag, but first you have to do what your calling card and do that and be consistent and stay poised the whole way through the season.”
