The draft? We don't know. But I'm not too worried about that. I'm not trying to put too many expectations around myself. I've been practicing for two weeks. I can't really fool myself. |
The program is good for kids. Is it good for all kids? Maybe not . . . (but) there's no reason to delay it. |

This tournament has been a blessing for me. I want coach to see that I'm going to go in there and get something done. If he puts me in there for 15 seconds or whether it's a lot of minutes, I just want to go out there and do something positive. Hilton and Josh got in foul trouble. I knew I had to step in there and bring a big lift, because I don't want to go home early. |
We are trying to use this as a teachable moment. We are getting very good conversations in class. |
When I get out there I want to start a fire under the team. |
When I'm out there people say I'm not a scorer. I still have it in me. But we have a whole group of people that can score. I've got to do the things that sort of make us a championship team, diving for loose balls, using my size under the basket. That's what I have to do. |
Yeah, Antonio Gates is somebody I point to as I try this transition. I know it's not easy, but I also know it has been done. |
You might as well give it a shot. There's a lot of things I need to learn, but if you put your heart into stuff and a lot of hard work, things will pay off. |
