“I think NBA teams were able to see how I can be a factor on a winning team, how I can get my teammates and myself going to try to win as many games as possible.”

“You can obviously watch games and people in the past - James Harden, Trae Young when he's coming off ball screens and people are trying to fight over because he's such a good playmaker, floater shooter.
