“I think that's something that I'm trying to push towards for everybody else: 'Be you.'”
“It takes more energy to be somebody else than it does to be you.”
“In terms of shots, shots are fine. They're going to fall. It's a long season.”
“I just feel more comfortable in the NBA.”
“The older you get, the more knowledge you gain as an individual, as a human.”
“If they're open, I have the utmost faith and trust in my teammates that they'll be able to knock the shot down.”
“I really only care about hooping.”
“The details matter in real life. The little small things you do matter. Whether it's saying good morning to somebody. Whether it's X'ing out on a closeout. Whether it's giving a teammate an extra handshake.”
“I know I can impact the game.”
“It just feels really good to put my teammates in really easy situations to score the ball, especially getting guys going early in case the game gets close... just making the right play.”
“I was always a whatever-the-team-needs type of player. know what I bring to the table.”
“People will say good things. People say bad things... But as long as you focus and you have tunnel vision and you lock in. Once you set your mind to something, and you come up with a plan to do it, everything else takes care of itself.”
“We've seen what it's like to be up, we've seen what it's like to be down, we've seen what it's like to give a lead away, we've seen to fight the entire game.”
“We won the national championship in high school. We went to the Final Four my first year at Michigan, Sweet Sixteen my second year.”
“Only so much you can do when you play 15 minutes.”
“I know if I need a shot or get a look, I know where I need to go to get one.”
“Opportunities, they don't come often.”
“I feel like I get good shots - shots that I practice and shots that I make. So you continue to take those shots. You take them all the time repetitively. So you can't stop shooting because you miss one or two.”
“Every organization has to go through tough times in order to figure out what the good times are like, if that makes sense.”
“I'm not just going to open up right away... I know how to talk.”
