I'm still rough around the edges and need a lot of polishing.

Scouts have always been surprised by the way I'm able to move at my size. How fast and agile I am.

I thought it was normal to recycle pants and shoes from your older cousins. That was just my way of life. At the end of the month, there was not much food in the refrigerator and you're hoping the first comes so food can come again. You never forget those things.

People who understand basketball definitely appreciate what I bring to the table.

I'm happy to be where I am and how everything has turned out.

The coaches are working with me every day. And if you feel like the coach is behind you, you'll take some chances.?

I play knowing that there is somebody watching me out there in the crowd that has never had the opportunity to watch a game before and it might be the only chance they ever to see one, live in person. Michael Jordan once said that in an interview, and I really took it to heart, when ever I step on the floor I play for that person. Also, I always know my grandfather's out there watching.
