Music has always been a big part of my life. It's kind of like a refuge for me. I just use it to get away.

I'm busy working on every aspect of my game - defense, shooting, rebounding - but I really want to become a better overall team player. Help my teammates become better players out on the court in order to win more ball games.

I look at my jersey and see the NBA logo, I'm like, 'I didn't think I'd be here.'

I'm not into no basketball beef.

My mom just wants to make sure that my heart is always in whatever I do and I'm in things for the right reasons.

Last, I just want to thank God again. He's the first and the last. Alpha and Omega. I thank you for saving my life.

Every memory I had growing up was involving a basketball. I didn't go to the prom and stuff like that. It was always basketball for me.
