I didn't think I was going to be drafted, to be honest. I'm so serious. I mean, wholeheartedly, too. I don't know. I didn't realize it, probably, until about a week and a half, two weeks before the Draft.
When I was a kid, my favorite event was the Slam Dunk Contest.
I couldn't shoot and I couldn't score in high school. All I could do is dunk and play defense.
It's pretty cool to see the people I'm reaching throughout the entire world. It's special.
I want to be the best teammate I can be, the fastest learner, the hardest worker, and just go out there in any way that I can help in each game.
I watch a lot of Dwyane Wade. D-Wade was in the Finals his third year and he was getting to the free-throw line 10 times a game.
I'm probably not supposed to say this, but the truth is, there were so many times when I thought about quitting basketball, even when I was at Louisville. My freshman year, I shot 18 for 72 from three.
During the season, I'm always locked in one gear, ready to play basketball, always keeping my guard up.
There are shoes in my closet that people would go crazy over. That's where my giving back comes in. I might never wear these shoes, but some kids would go crazy for them.
I want to play for my country and win a gold medal.
We're putting Utah in a different light. I'm glad to be a part of that. We're all glad to be a part of that. My friends want to come here. When I was a kid, that wasn't the case. That's where I'm trying to get Utah to. I want people to see what we have because it's a great place.
Growing up, my mom used essential oils in our home, so I've always noticed the benefits and now incorporate them in my daily routine.
You know, it's a long season and hopefully a long career.
I was the lead recruiter at Louisville. I think I signed four or five guys before I left.
My favorite character in 'Star Wars' is Luke Skywalker, for sure.
People make fun of Utah nightlife, but it's actually dope. I love it.
I come from New York. It's busy. It's populated. It's noisy. It's loud.
I know guys in the league say, 'Oh yeah, I love X, Y, Z city.' But man, I genuinely love Utah.
As a kid, my favorite subject was recess. Why? Because I could go play basketball.
It's one thing to make it to the NBA. It's one thing to make the playoffs your first year. It's one thing to make the playoffs your second year. But if you want to be great, you've got to continue to work.
