When he came in, I kind of knew that he was going to explode, but you never really know it until you see it.
dream nba opportunity playing since stay test waters
Playing in the NBA has always been a dream for me since I was a little kid. Right now, I have the opportunity to test the waters to see where I stand. If I'm comfortable with where I feel I'll be drafted, I'll stay in the draft. If not, I'll be back.

We are going to play the way we have been. We won?t change anything to begin with.

We're playing with a lot of emotion. Everybody's feeding off each other right now. We feel like we're rolling.
feed knocking
When he's out there knocking down shots, we feed off him.
ball goes pain pops
My pops always told me never make excuses. A lot of times when that ball goes up, all that pain goes out the window.
cheap looking picked spots watch
I picked up fouls that weren't smart. A lot of those were cheap fouls. When I was on bench, I could watch the flow. Once I got back in the game, I was looking to where I could pick my spots and where I can take some opportunities.
asked freshman himself knew point practice questions remember saw stepped stopped supposed time
I remember the first time he stepped into the gym, a freshman with this far-away look on his face. During practice he stopped and asked me questions like, 'What am I supposed to do on that play?' and 'Where am I supposed to go now?' At that point I knew he wanted to make himself a better player. I saw it from Day 1.
knocked
I'll give him credit. He knocked down a big-time shot.

I have to give them a lot of credit. Every time we made a run, they kept answering.

I had never played in a dome. I was a little like a deer in the headlights.
lose
I'm the kind of player, if I'm 1 for 55, I always think 56 is going in. I never lose my confidence.
