“My mom did a good job making sure I worked for everything I got. Really, it just helped me realize the real world and how people who don't have everything have to work for stuff.”

“I'm just trying to be the best teammate I can possibly be.”

“Anyone that's your competitor is going to think that they're better.”

“I used to do crazy tricks. I would stand on the seat, wheelies, stuff like that.”

“I wear hats and hoodies so it's kind of hard to see me. I stay low-key. That's the way I am.”

“It's always good to see what people think, but you can't go off paper. You got to work hard to get what you want.”

“Being able to play together, we're going to motivate each other; we're going to help each other out. I think it would be something special.”

“If I see an open shot, I'm going to go shoot it. That's what I work for.”

“Everything is a learning experience, both good and bad that happen to you. You take what happens and learn from it. That's how I look at everything, the good and bad. You learn about it, and you improve.”

“I'm just out there supporting my teammates, but when I'm out there, I'm going to lay it out on the line.”

“College, by far, was the best time of my life. Just being able to go there right now and not worry about paying bills and all that and just having fun.”

“I guarantee that if you ask anyone who is guarding me, they won't say I'm taking plays off. It's actually a compliment to me that I make the game look that easy, where people think I don't play that hard.”

“At first, I was thinking about just getting to the NBA, just watching the NBA, being one of the All-Stars in the NBA.”

“I'm just trying to look at different ways to see how the ball can go in the hoop.”
