“I needed this season, to be honest, to put myself out there,” he said. “I
haven’t really done anything, to be honest, since I’ve been here. Rookie year,
didn’t play at all. Last year, I was hurt with so many injuries. This year, with
the new coaching staff coming in, new trainers, everything, I just felt like it
was a fresh start for me. I think that really helped me and was the start for
me. This past summer was my best summer as far as getting better and I think it
showed. I just tried to come in, play hungry, humble, and it just shows who I
am. I needed this year to show the league, show myself, gain some confidence,
and show the type of player I am.”
Coming off the bench in 67 of his 82 games, Bembry set career highs in points
per game (8.4), assists per game (2.5), rebounds per game (4.4) and steals per
game (1.3).
