Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

“I'm good for running. I run every day. That's me. I like to run.”

“Put on about 10 more pounds, that'd be good for me and the development of my game.”

“If you're open in certain spots, you just shoot the ball. It doesn't matter if you're good from that spot or not.”

“Most teams won't really focus on one player because they've got multiple players to defend and that will open up a lot of things for me.”

“I feel like the criticism and bad stuff don't come unless I'm playing bad.”

“Ballhandling - I made it a focus in all my workouts - working on my handles coming off screens with it, one or two-dribble pull-ups, making second moves, trying to mix it up and continuing to get better each day.”

“That's what I do - I run the floor, I run the wing. Either get easy layups or transition threes.”

“When I get up, I usually have a missed call from either my sons or my wife. Every day we try to talk on FaceTime, try to talk after practice and stuff like that throughout the day. Try to stay in contact as much as possible.”

“He's a great shot-blocker. So once you go in there, you've got to either get into his body and get an and-one, or you've got to drive and kick. It's not all about trying to force the shot over a shot-blocker like Nerlens Noel. You've got to kick it.”

“I can focus on just one thing - that's basketball.”

“Going to the rim, you either get fouled or get an easy two.”

“Like each and every year I got to think that way, anyway. I got to think about the next person trying to come in and take my job, so I got to continue to... work hard and prove myself.”

“There's always room to improve, so I'm going to continue to improve on defense, offense, being consistent and continuing to play hard.”

“I like scary movies. I like the mystery that leaves you wanting to watch the next one.”

“I'm a shooter and shooters shoot.”

“My mindset is I don't need to worry about the noise. I got my team and my brothers with me.”

“I built my career in the league playing defense and making shots, and also making plays when I needed to.”

“I can only focus on what I can control.”

“That was probably the biggest adjustment for a lot of people... You have a ball-dominant guy like LeBron that makes plays for everybody. You gotta just be ready at any point because you might not get a shot the first 15 minutes and you might get three or four after that.”

“When I was in the second unit, it just took me time to find my rhythm just playing with a lot of new guys. But once I got in the starting lineup, it kind of just opened up a little bit.”
