I don't want to be one of those guys where I go there and wait a long time before I become a starter.
absolutely ball bounce field game games greatest happens impact move player regroup scared somebody time
I think I could be an impact player this season, ... When I'm out on the field, I'm not scared of anyone. I'm just going to move the ball -- boom-boom , one-touch, two-touch -- and when the right time comes and I've got somebody one-on-one, I'll take him. But I'm not always going to have the greatest game of my life. There's going to be games when I absolutely suck. That happens to everybody. So it'll be up to me to regroup and try to find a way to bounce back.

I've always been one of the youngest guys on the team. But now I'm one of the older guys, one of the more experienced guys, and I have to be more of a leader. The guys are looking up to me, asking me questions and looking at me to step up.

Obviously, I'm at the beginning of my career, contrary to what anyone else thinks. I'm 19 years old. In any other country, everywhere else, you're a prospect. And that's what I am right now in Europe. I'm a prospect. I'm not a seasoned veteran.
