I think that's when I have the most fun: when things are on the line.
I've been watching Kobe ever since I can remember.
All good players have to do that, to learn how to get better throughout the season. Just really work on my body. Just try to stay healthy and be stronger. Just try to get bigger.
I feel like when I'm out there, I'm on the court, I just try to figure it out.
I just try to stay in my little circle. And I don't try to do too much. And when my opportunity comes, I just try to make the most of it.
You work all season to earn the trust of your teammates and the coaching staff.
You've just got to go out there and make the right play.
I don't think I really like going to class that much.
I remember placing the New Era cap on my head at the 2017 NBA draft - that moment changed my life. I'm excited to be a part of a brand that has a strong sport heritage and look forward to being a part of their history.
I gained, like, 20 pounds in, like, two and a half, three weeks. So I just got too big too fast, and my body wasn't adjusted to that.
I guess people looked at me in college, said I couldn't shoot or play defense. I proved them wrong.
It's a lot of fun, especially when you're winning. Playing at home in front of the best fans - doesn't get any better than that.
I didn't expect this - to be 19, be a rookie, playing this much and having a kid. It's a lot, but, I mean, I'm enjoying it.
You've just got to bring it every night. And that's what makes the great players great.
It helps being on a good team with a winning culture and just being confident in myself.
Just keep having fun. It's basketball. So that's what I'm going to keep doing.
The playoffs bring the best out of people.
I got to go to practice one day, shoot around, and rebound for LeBron James. That was still an unreal experience.
Meeting Kobe, it was of the greatest feelings ever.
Every since I started playing basketball, I wanted to be just like Kobe. To get to see him play in person, and to meet him, was just a dream come true.
