Coach K calls me and leaves me messages of encouragement, ... He wanted to let me know that he's doing everything he can behind the scenes to help me. He wanted me to know that he's happy for me. That means a lot to me. |

I knew I was going to play a little more than normal. When you get opportunities, you try to take advantage of them. |
I think I can help out the team. And people can doubt that or not believe it, but that's the feedback that I'm getting. Time will tell. |
I'm doing really, really well. I couldn't have asked for a better situation. Everything is coming into place right now. I feel blessed to be in the situation I'm in. |
I'm getting paid to play the game that I love, ... If anyone wants to criticize that, they can come say it to my face. I didn't get drafted because of what happened at Duke, and I wiped that off my chest and I moved on. People can say what they want to say, but I'm in the NBA right now. |
I've concentrated a lot on trying to slim back up and kind of lose that real muscular frame I had, ... I've been working a lot on my footwork and on my perimeter game. I feel like since I left Duke, I got a lot of my quickness back, a lot of my explosiveness back. It's been really good for me here in this camp. |

If I can hit the shot, I'm going to take it, |
My back was really against the wall there for a little bit, especially after I didn't get drafted, |
My career was mediocre, |
My only motivation would come from going to the game and realizing what I came from and where I was at this point last year and where I've come to, and just feeling so fortunate and so blessed. |
One thing about the NBA is that it's definitely not a faster pace. Duke has prepared me well. There's nothing here that I haven't seen already. It's not faster. If anything, it's a little slower with all the one-on-one play. I feel like I'm fitting in the grove well here. Again, I couldn't have asked for a better situation. |
The rims here are soft, just like when I left, ... This is home to me and I'm happy to be back. |
When I come back down here, of course people are going to doubt me and find it hard to believe that I'm doing what I'm doing. ? People can say what they want to say, but I'm doing it. |
