“I think when you look around this league, so much is scripted. And not scripted in a sense that the league is scripted, but when guys talk, it's like, 'Say this. Yeah, come out and say that.' Like, nah, I'm not doing that. I'm going to say what's on my mind. I'm going to say what's on my heart. It's just genuine speaking.”

“The more time you spend with somebody, the more your relationship grows.”

“I wouldn't necessarily say I'm arrogant. I'm just confident.”

“Michigan State means so much to my life and me.”

“Everything can't be sweet. Everything can't be peaches and cream.”

“Be remembered for the right things.”

“I can throw all the good passes I want, but if they don't make shots, it's not an assist.”

“I'm a huge fan of basketball. Any time you get a chance to watch basketball, I do it.”

“If you put junk into your body, your body is going to give you junk results.”

“In the NBA, there's always a guy who is only around because he can jump. He doesn't have a clue about the fundamentals. I learn more from the WNBA. They know how to dribble, how to pivot, how to use the shot fake.”

“No one is going to tell me I'm too small to do whatever, to do anything. That's not up to them, and I'll never give anyone that power to say that.”

“When the ball isn't in my hands, I'm already scanning for where the next pass is going.”

“My fire is my gift and my curse. I harness it 95% of the time, but the 5% I don't, it works against me.”

“It just doesn't go with my story to be a first round pick, because I had to grind my whole life.”

“I've been pretty broke my entire life. I'm not going to live that same life, but I'm going to keep those same principles.”

“You learn from adversity more than anything because it allows you to see so much. It really allows you to see things in a different way.”
