“It has been a dream of mine to play in the NBA.”
“Every playoffs will be different. You learn from that, grow from that and apply your skillset.”
“I've been a winner my entire life.”
“As long as you think the right way and have the right perspective, everything else will kind of just fall in place.”
“Everything in Golden State was already established, so we kinda had to fit into the mold that they have there.”
“If I get eight weeks to try to grow my facial hair out, I'll grow it out.”
“I don't do much. I just kind of chill at home, be to myself. I put all of my energy into the hoop stuff, go home, restore my energy so I can come back and do it again.”
“I just enjoy playing the game and being able to make an impact on the game and try to win.”
“I'm a big believer with being where your feet are and being present.”
“I mean, Kobe was my favorite player growing up.”
“Everything they were saying - he takes bad shots or he can't pass, he can't dribble - I wasn't worried about that. Because I knew what I was capable of.”
“Jaren is a big reason why my finishing game is so strong. We played one-on-one, and when I figured out how to score against taller opponents and more athletic bigs, he was the prototype.”
“I was so obsessed with making the most of the opportunity when it came, I don't know if I could live with myself if it came and I wasn't prepared.”
“Narratives can be misconstrued.”
“I'm never shying away or like stepping back because of a little bit of criticism.”
“I think every player wants to go out and have a good game every game, and it doesn't work that way sometimes.”
“I think anything that anybody does can get an impact from anybody, if that makes sense.”
“I'm going to find ways to get my teammates involved.”
“Just being able to push the ball in transition, kind of create offense before the defense is set, I think that's an advantage whenever I'm on ball trying to get something going.”
“If I can finish over Jaren, I can finish over anybody. Being able to go against a real true 6-10, 6-11, athletic NBA prospect, I can't let you block my shot. I really had to find ways to work around how gifted he was.”
