ABOUT GETTING MORE PLAYING TIME:  

"It’s great. I’ve been having fun. I’m finally getting a chance to play. I’m not just watching. I’m learning a lot from my teammates and my coaches, so I’m excited."

PLAYING IN THE NBADL:

"Every situation you're put in is different, every scenario you're put in is different. It's how you handle it. You got to take every experience and run with it." 

THE SPEED OF THE NBADL:

"As you play more games, you kind of get more comfortable with the rules. The speed of the game is a little bit different." 

THE LEVEL OF PLAY:

"Everyone's so hungry. Everyone is playing for that's job, so it's definitely high-level basketball."

ALL KINDS OF TRAVEL:

"You play a game two days in a row, have a day break, then a game, then another game. There's a lot of games played, but it's all fun. It's basketball."
