“Eight minutes is a long time in basketball.”
“My game really complements what the NBA wants - a long guy who can really handle the ball and shoot the ball and make multiple decisions.”
“I need to focus on getting to the free-throw line and knocking them down in practice and getting them in the game.”
“When I was in high school watching college games, I was like 'I can't wait to get to March Madness.'”
“I really enjoy watching on the side because I can really see the game from a different perspective.”
“Overseas and going straight to the NBA wasn't even an option.”
“When I used to get the ball on the wing, I'd go fast and I'd go right. Veterans in this league, they watch film. They're definitely going to strategize. They know you like to go right. They know what your moves are.”
“That's why I love this game, that's why I play this game, that's the goal. I want to be great.”

“No matter whether you're hurting or it's just a precaution, you gotta eat right, make sure that you're protecting your body because 82 games and all those road trips - it's going to be a lot.”

“I found out some of the spots on the floor that I like to shoot - do my little floater shots, my pull-up shots, being able to get all the way to the rim. By me doing that, it's kind of opened up my 3-point shot.”
“I can play really pretty much anywhere on the court.”
“Guys in the league have grown-man strength. They're not going to move off when you bump them. They know your moves and are going to cut them off. You have to be strong and have counters. You have to slow down.”
“I'm fine with pressure. I went to Kentucky, dealt with it all season, playing in front of all the top teams and top crowds.”
