Behzad Hashemi, put on the spot, couldn't remember what his first name means in Farsi. So he forced a local reporter to do some research on it. A Google search turned up the following meanings: "noble", "high-born", "honorable".
Told that he has looked more comfortable at his guard position in summer league play, the rising junior agreed, "It's a lot easier to control the game, having more experience."
Regarding La Jolla's outside shooting, the three-point specialist said, "Obviously, with Reed (Farley) graduated, we're playing a totally different style of basketball.
"We look inside. That's our main option. Then we may take a shot outside."
Are you more confident shooting from distance this summer? he was asked. "Not more confident," he asserted. "I've always been confident. It's now I have the green light (from Coach Paul Baranowski).
Asked to clarify, he said, "(The green light) as long as we've looked inside. As long as we've tried to look inside and reversed the ball a couple of times."
