I don't really think about it. I just try to find my opportunity and then attack.

Being able to provide for your kids in a way that maybe your parents couldn't do for you is a great feeling.

If I see a spider in my room, I gotta sleep on the couch for, like, two days.

I'm a big candle guy.

One day I'd have 20 points, the next day two points. I was dribbling the ball off my leg. I couldn't understand why. The media started asking me, 'Is this because you are a new dad?' I didn't want to blame my son. There are plenty of people in much worse situations, and they make it work. I have to do that, too.

Obviously, getting stronger is the key, and knowing how to use my body, knowing what to expect.

I don't really want to get too heavy, you know. I still want to be able to move in the paint.

Coach K always wanted me to talk more, even when I was in college. That's something I'm going to do as I get older.

The East is tougher than a lot of people give us credit for.

I just care about winning and doing what I can while I'm on the floor.

I don't know how to handle all the trade talks.

I've always lived with my mom. My whole life.

Thin crust, provolone cheese, marinara sauce - it's just a St. Louis thing. That's what I grew up eating.

When I play bad, I don't get too down on myself. When I play good, I don't get too hot.

I used to hate Boston.

I love Coach K's passion to coach his players and to coach the game. I examined and watched the interaction between him and his staff, along with the players, and was impressed how hard they played.

My mom tried to not let me see how much we were struggling, but I noticed it. I think that's what made me work harder. I saw how hard she was working, and I just wanted a better life for both of us.

Not too many people know what they want to do at 3 and then go do it.

There's a lot of talented guys, but at the end of the day, you've got to go out there and get it. It's really about who's competing and who wants it more on both ends of the floor.

I'm looking to try to do more out there and just taking advantage of the opportunities that I've been given.

The Celtics were always going to pick me No. 1, but Philly didn't know that.

All I used to want to do was shoot fadeaways like Kobe because he was my favorite player.

Growing up with videos and YouTube, being able to see content from the '90s - music and games - that really helped me stay connected with the time before me.

Each person's workout is really different. It's tailored to be what's most needed for them. Everybody's different.

School was very important. But I needed to watch basketball.

I don't have anything to eat in my house but chips and Gatorade.

The Single Mothers Program is something I would love to start if I'm fortunate enough to make it to the NBA and things like that.

No matter what team you're playing for, the ultimate goal is to be the last team standing.

There's no greater feeling, I would imagine, than winning a national championship in that one year and then hopefully going to the NBA.

Talent level, I feel like if I'm not the best, I'm one or two. I think it's just opportunity, the situation that you're in, and who's on your team. I think I've done all right.

Anytime I play another rookie, there's that extra edge.

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 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.

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.

If people are going to judge me without fully understanding the content of my character, then their opinion just isn't worth it.

Being transgender isn't a medical transition. It's a process of learning to love yourself for who you are.

I hope to stop discrimination against young transgender people.

I wouldn't change myself at all. Being transgender makes me who I am: a strong person, a confident person. Being transgender gives me my personality.
