I want to put myself in the best position to stay out on the floor.
Whenever I guard a guard, I don't want to reach too much, but I will poke at the ball once to get him thinking.
Anthony Davis' lateral movement is one of a kind.
A lot of playcalls are for the corner 3. I thought that's something I should really work on.
Although there's no one I really pattern my game after, I am a firm believer in stealing stuff from other people.
I have game-changing defensive abilities.
I'm looking forward to playing against LeBron.
Some kids have lifelong dreams of wanting to play in the NBA.
I got everything I wanted out of Texas. Obviously, you'd love to win more. You'd love to win a national championship and compete at that level. But as far as relationships and development, I couldn't be happier.
I don't want to take away from anything from my time at Texas. I think it was actually pretty darn special.
Don't be one foot in and one foot out, especially coming up in New York. It's so easy to lose sight of what you want to do and who you want to be.
There was a lot of other people that had their own song or their name in a verse in high school. I was just like, 'To stamp my high school career, I gotta get my name in a song.'
One thing that drives me crazy is when people tell me that I sound good for an athlete. They be like, 'You don't sound like you from Harlem.'
I'd say the best thing my parents passed on to me was to let me make my own mistakes and figure out on my age how to kind of see the world on my own.
I credit a lot of my success to being from Harlem, growing up there.
Coach Smart, he's given me so much freedom to sort of grow into who I was.
There are things that I need to do better, and I need to get to a point where it's hard to not have me on the court.
Having the tools and the intangibles mean nothing unless you are surrounded by the best.
I love fast breaks, and I love playing full-court basketball, but offensively in the half court, I kind of take my time, let guys cut, and let the defense move. Then, if I have a move, I'll go. If not, I'll just hand it off to a teammate.
I truly have New York embedded in my blood.
