Dexter Strickland learning to excel in point guard role

A year ago Dexter Strickland was second on the team in assists before an ACL injury ended his season. But it also may have helped him play the point. "I think my injury helped me out a lot with that, not that it hurts now but it forced me to slow down a little bit and now I can change my speed and just keep my composure," said Strickland.
