“I'm not really worried about anybody else but myself, honestly.”

“I can play as a one, a two, or even a three.”

“I do things like the float tank, which helps me get into that mindframe of calmness. I take that really seriously.”

“I had big dreams and I really knew I wanted to do big things, but I wasn't sure how I was going to go about doing it.”

“I would say from a young age, basketball had been something I've loved.”

“I love to play the game. But I think health wise, that's the most important thing.”

“I dress how I feel that day. If I'm feeling tired, you might see me in a hoodie. If I'm feeling like I want to dress up, you might see me in a button-down. I try to mix it up with my shoes, but I don't really look at it as competitive, like, 'I want to dress better than this guy.' I'm just myself.”

“I think any time you put in a lot of work and you're trying to believe in a process, be dedicated to that one-percent-better mentality, you need to understand you may not see the fruit to your labor tomorrow or the next day or the next week.”

“I'm just used to playing on the ball or off the ball. At Michigan we did a lot of both so for me, it's just a matter of being productive when I'm on the court.”

“I'm kind of a clean-cut guy - I've got a little bit of a baby face.”

“Obviously as a player, it's good to feel wanted, and it's good for other people to acknowledge what you've been doing on the court.”

“I just have a lot of fun playing the game.”

“Just going through a full year of the NBA teaches you a lot of different things.”

“Don't take any possession for granted.”

“I've been through a lot, not only with basketball, but with life in general.”

“I was always told failure to plan is planning to fail, so I've always been a huge guy on planning.”

“For me, the most important thing is to get my body healthy and make sure I live a long life.”

“I'm a worker, I'm someone who loves getting better and embraces the grind.”

“I was the oldest male in the house from when I was a sophomore in high school, so I definitely had to grow up a lot quicker.”
