Hopefully in the next couple of days, I'll get my invite. Actually, tomorrow I should have my invite.
Hopefully he won't look at it as a bad deal by Detroit. He will look at it as a chance to come in and really get a chance to play.
Grant came out tonight and knew we needed a win. We needed him offensively and he stepped up.
I can't wait. Everybody on this team is a hard worker, and I'm sure they're going to work to get better as individuals.
He's a pretty talented player, but he hasn't had a chance to show his talent. I think it's just opportunity. He gets another opportunity down here. Hopefully he'll look at it as a chance to play.
I don't need to be like, 'Hey, throw me the ball.' But I guess I do need to put some bass in my voice. One of the things that coach Hill says is that he needs me to be more aggressive to get the ball.
I just want to get out there and help my team win. I can play one, two, three, four, five or sixth man if I have to. ... We're a playoff team, but talent will only take you so far. As a team, we need to get a little more hungry.
I like Terence Morris, and I like how he plays.
The first half, they took our hearts. We just came back and got our hearts back. We fought so hard to get back into the game. Marshall hit the shot at the end of the game ... we were supposed to get that win.
I'm a big guy, but he's just a lot bigger than me. He's big, really big. It was a learning experience for me. Really, it was my first time guarding him, and I have to learn how to guard him better.
I'm just 19 and I've got a long time left in this league. This is just my second year and I'm still learning every night.
That's been the story all year. In the fourth quarter, you get him the ball and he makes things happen.
