“As guys know that you're a shooter, well, they're going to try to run you off the line.”

“One of the things that I've always had fun with is the stereotype 'white man can't jump.' It's followed me along my whole career and it's something that obviously I've tried to disprove many times.”

“I love St. John's Prep as a school. I like the people there, it's a great school.”

“As busy as we are and as focused as we are at our sport, there are times the coaches want you to get away from basketball.”

“As NBA players, so much of the game is mental, as far as confidence and playing against the best players in the world.”

“It's not about how much weight you can lift in-season. It's about how fast you can move it, how strong you are, how you can maintain that strength so you can produce on the floor.”

“I think October baseball is a lot of fun to follow, being a biased guy that enjoys the sport from time to time.”

“I've done it before where I get guys banging their bat on the ground after their second or third at-bat because you just have so many different combinations to try to get him to swing and miss.”

“A lot of the NBA teams didn't know I wanted to pursue basketball, and I'm trying to show them I do.”

“When I was able to come to a school that not only has some of the best athletics but the best academics, I wanted to make sure I didn't let this school down.”
