He is going to be a leader along with his good play on offense and defense.

One of Isaiah Briscoe’s favorite things to do on the basketball court is talk.

He doesn’t only typically win basketball games, he also wins the talking game, where he says he’s never met someone who talks a better game than him – but does concede that Tyler Ulis talks a “great” game as well.

For Briscoe, talking a big game on the court gives him an advantage over his competition. It can make some timid, it can take some out of their own game, and in both instances, it enhances Briscoe’s.

“I think it makes the game more interesting,” Briscoe said in an exclusive interview with CoachCal.com. “It brings the best matchups out of the opposing defenders. If you’re trying to go and kill him, he’s going to try to go kill you. That’s how you get good basketball, and that’s how you get better.”

His confidence on the court is one of the things that separates him from other players. Former Kentucky forward Willie Cauley-Stein would often say he could tell if the opposing team could compete or didn’t have a shot within the first five minutes of the game.

A confident player, Isaiah Briscoe isn't afraid to admit he loves talking on the court, saying it makes the game more interesting.

Similarly, Briscoe says he can tell his opponent’s confidence level quickly with a few easy signs, such as the opponent not going to get the ball or look him in the eyes.
