My mindset is I don't need to worry about the noise. I got my team and my brothers with me.
If you've got a big man who scores the ball, you've got to defend, and if you've got a shooter, you've got to pick and choose who you're going to defend.
Ballhandling - I made it a focus in all my workouts - working on my handles coming off screens with it, one or two-dribble pull-ups, making second moves, trying to mix it up and continuing to get better each day.
I'm very confident, in anything that I do.
My teammates are incredible. Just to be a part of this organization and this group, it's amazing with all the history behind the Lakers; I'm just glad to be a part of it.
That was probably the biggest adjustment for a lot of people... You have a ball-dominant guy like LeBron that makes plays for everybody. You gotta just be ready at any point because you might not get a shot the first 15 minutes and you might get three or four after that.
The first year I kind of struggled to find where my shots was coming from, when to cut, where to be.
That's what I do - I run the floor, I run the wing. Either get easy layups or transition threes.
To play the game at this level, I've got to continue to get better. I've got to stay consistent, still work on my ballhandling and I've got to become a great defender.
I can't let my frustration get the best of me.
I just wanted my dad to be a part of my life, wanted him to continue to be there.
I don't mind staying home. I'm a homebody anyway, so I don't mind.
I can only focus on what I can control.
I'm a shooter and shooters shoot.
I just got to be ready to knock down shots.
When I defend, it keeps me patient and lets my game come to me on the offensive end.
I feel like the criticism and bad stuff don't come unless I'm playing bad.
I built my career in the league playing defense and making shots, and also making plays when I needed to.
Put on about 10 more pounds, that'd be good for me and the development of my game.
I can focus on just one thing - that's basketball.
