The thing with NBA teams, a lot of times they just want to get you back on the floor to play, so as a player you've got to be very, very smart.

A lot of rookies hit the wall after 50 or 60 games.

Concentrate on defense because the offense will come.

I can cook a little bit but pretty much when I get back from practice I am pretty tired that I just order out.

Going home to Australia, it's good to get home, but it's kind of bad too because you get used to that way of life again and you have to come back to America.

I think because I am a proven rookie that it is going to help me in the long run.

In Australian culture, people are just more laid back, people aren't as serious, they just take their time with things. It's just like, whatever, if I don't get it done I don't get it done.
