“In high school, I played a lot of point forward, and I had to get everyone involved.”

“I just want to go out there and play hard every night and do my best.”

“I tried one tiny piece of kangaroo, which I never thought I would try, and it was actually pretty good. I probably wouldn't eat it again, but it was still pretty good.”

“Some people will have their opinions, but to be in the league, you have to have confidence that you're one of the best.”

“I don't think I'm somebody that dominates the ball a lot.”

“I don't think smaller guys usually bother me on my shot too much.”

“It feels good to hit a shot; that's something you always dream about as a kid.”

“I think Giannis can be a LeBron-type player, like an all-world, Hall of Famer, MVP, legend, one of the best ever. He's doing the right things to put himself in that situation. I think he will get there.”

“I dedicate much of my success to what I learned inside and outside the classroom at Porter-Gaud, and I want to give that same opportunity to other kids in Charleston.”

“Anytime you fall short with someone you've been with the whole time, you always ask yourself or ask the other partner, 'Can we do this?'”

“Now, I'm not afraid. Or getting myself down about missing shots or missing an assignment late. The game goes on. You've got another chance. That's definitely a mental thing.”

“My parents always told me be confident but be humble at the same time.”

“We have to do what's best for the team.”

“I'm not the most athletic guy who is able to make these crazy layups or dunk all over people. I'm more of a shooter, floater, lane guy - not too much flash. But it gets the job done.”

“You can't stop great players. You can only make it tough on them.”

“I was born and raised in Charleston, SC.”

“I think LeBron is the best player in the world, as far as overall in his career and what he's doing for this league on and off the court.”

“Heading into college, I was mainly just a spot-up shooter.”

“Anytime basketball is involved, it's fun for me.”

“Waffle House is my childhood thing. We used to go there on Sundays or weekends every now and then with my family. It's just good, Southern, home-cooked food, and that's what I love.”
