A lot of it comes from being comfortable. When I first came to Chicago, I didn't know anybody. Once I got comfortable and confident, that helped me out a lot. Once I got used to school, everything got better — school and basketball. |
I came back two weeks before the season started. I came back a week before we played our first scrimmage game. It was tough. I think it helped me out mentally. I felt a lot smarter. I was just watching and found ways to defend players better and move without the ball. I found ways to score on other people. |
I worked hard on my game this summer. I got in the weight room and got stronger overall. I just worked on my game and my shooting. My performance has improved a lot. |
I've been enjoying it, getting a chance to play against top competition. Even when I was younger, playing high school in Natchez, a lot of people wouldn't have expected me to play at this level. It's been fun. |
