“If you're limiting the team you're playing to a certain amount of points, you'll win the game.”

“I love that about Detroit. It has a lot of energy and culture to it.”

“Teams are obviously going to make adjustments and stuff like that, but there's gonna be a lot more open looks for me and then if it's not open, it's one-on-one, or I'll make the extra pass.”

“My growth as a player is extremely important to me.”

“I've always had to do a bunch of different things in my career.”

“Coming off the bench, sometimes the first thing we need is to spark a little energy.”

“Having two athletic centers that can do virtually anything on the court is huge.”

“I think we all got a little bit of kid in us.”

“In high school, guys can get away with playing at a slower pace, or playing and only exerting a certain amount of energy.”

“It feels great to bring their spirits up no matter how we can do it. Us helping kids less fortunate gives them a chance to feel at home.”

“Growing up, I've always been the guy that will do a lot of the things that other people can't do or aren't really willing to do.”

“Off the court I am like a nice guy, I guess I'd say, but on the court you kind of gotta change your mentality.”

“I learned more from my family - my mom and my dad always tried to keep me as educated as possible on our history. Them doing that definitely helped me open my eyes to everything going on around the country.”

“When you have certain goals that you want to reach, you have to do whatever it takes to get there.”

“I definitely want to maintain my quickness. I feel like a lot of players they bulk up and lose their quickness.”

“Yeah, I would say defense is the strength of my game. I think that was the reason why I got into the league and now I've been trying to expand my game from that.”

“When I got to Syracuse, I knew it was going to be tough, playing behind a bunch of great forwards. I just learned that giving it your all on every play is something that's going to get you to play a lot more.”

“Having someone like my dad or my uncle or even my brothers in my family, there's definitely someone you can talk to about anything. I can go to them about any situation or they can come to me about anything they think I need to work on. It's good for me.”

“You know, I feel like I can do what I want on the floor.”

“I think earlier in my career, especially before I got traded, I thought about it a lot before the trade deadline.”
