My acting coach I've got here, Richard Lawson, he's been doing good, just telling me to calm down sometimes and just be me.

I'm just trying to grow. That's one thing I told myself is, 'Don't worry about who people say is the best player'.

With everything I do, I just try to be myself.

I'm just more content with myself. Like, if I've got something to say, I want to get it off of my chest.

This was an extremely difficult decision as I take great pride in representing our country. I know that I owe it to my USA Basketball teammates to be totally invested in the experience. After going through training camp with USAB, I realized I could not fulfill my responsibilities to the team from both a time and energy standpoint. I need to take a step back and take some time away, both mentally and physically in order to prepare for the upcoming NBA season. I will be rooting for USAB and look forward to future opportunities with them.

I'm not out here to be showing you I'm this perfect person.
