Everybody knows that I can play defense. I've showed at times that I can score, but I just think they want to know, 'How consistent are you in your moves?'

I don't wanna be labeled as just a defensive player or a rim protector or someone who can dunk. I feel like I can do everything.

Some of my conversations with Jay, I'm not really saying much, just listening. It's really just learning. I'm trying to have Jay Z's money.

Since I got to college, I wanted my own shoe and clothing spot. It's called 'Catalyst.' That's the ultimate goal. I wanna put it downtown Sacramento. It's poppin down there. They don't have anything like that.

I'm just unique. I do my own thing. I live by my own rules.

The way I dress, the way I talk, the way I do things, what I say on Twitter - it's just like, that's who you are, so don't try to mask who you are just because of what other people think of you.

With my grandparents, it was almost like a hippie lifestyle. I could do whatever I wanted. If I didn't want to do my homework, I didn't do it.

I'm getting drafted because I can guard multiple positions. Anything that comes other than that, there's no pressure there.

A lot of kids my age can make a lot of mistakes, but college athletes that are in the spotlight, you have to grow up so much faster than regular students or regular kids your age because you are a public figure, so you get one shot, sometimes two.

I'm really straightforward. I'm going to tell you how it is. I'm going to speak my mind.

I'm real mentally strong, so there's just not a lot that people can say to get me off of my own self and lane, and my confidence.
