I can't just tell the guys I want the ball, I have to do it with my body language.

I feel like half the battle is not giving up and staying positive. If you don't have anyone in your corner or anyone in your ear, being positive helps you believe that you can get through it.

The best part about being a Blazer is the fans. The fans here are so loyal it feels like a college team with how close the fans and players are. They have such a great passion for the team that it makes it fun to be a part of and makes you want to work harder to make the team successful.

I can't just tell the guys I want the ball, I have to do it with my body language.

I'm a very good 15- to 18-foot shooter.

I'm a fighter. So if you're going to doubt me or say that I can't do something, I'm going to prove to you I can do it. And when I do it, hopefully I earn your respect and you'll know it didn't come easy to me.

I don't really need bulk, just strength. I can get strong without putting on weight.
