Anthony Bennett

“I just feel like there's a lid on the basket. Three games and no shots went in, but I just have to keep working.”

“I just want to go out there and just play basketball. That's when I have the most fun and when everybody around me has the most fun as well.”

“Just gotta try to have fun. It's a business. You just gotta come out there and play hard because you never know when another player might take your spot.”

“Back then, when I was a kid, I watched Vince Carter every now and then.”

“The experience of playing EuroLeague ball gave myself a different perspective on just the way the game's played. Every possession matters. Everything has to be on point. Offence, defensively - everybody has to be connected.”

“I just gotta go out there and play basketball the way I know how to.”

“I know what I'm doing off the court. Everybody just sees pictures or videos of me, and if it looks out of shape, they just assume that I'm fat or I'm not working.”

“Everybody talks smack during games.”

“I just feel like I'm a basketball player. I don't really have a position. I can play inside. I can play out. So whatever a team needs, I think I got it.”

“First year in the league, it's going to be difficult.”

“If you're versatile, you can play many positions. You just got to go out there and perform.”

“I've just got to take it day by day and keep working.”

“My first signature was pretty long, but someone said, 'You need to shorten that up so much.'”

“I feel that playing the stretch four is an advantage for me because I'm quicker than most power forwards. I can shoot the ball well. I'm efficient, so I can use that to my advantage.”

“Living by yourself, technically by yourself, at the age of 16 is not easy to do.”

“People doubted me, said I lacked skill. I'm just trying to stay consistent, use my minutes wisely, and do what I can with the opportunity.”

“I can run up and down, shoot threes, or go inside. I can also get involved by setting screens and rebounding.”

“Definitely was eating bad after surgery. I was overweight by, like, 20, 30 pounds.”

“I just feel like every time I'm on the court I just clear my head, clear my mind.”

“With my jump shot, once I get that consistent, I feel like that is going to be a huge advantage for me.”
