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.

Meeting Kobe, it was of the greatest feelings ever.

I got to go to practice one day, shoot around, and rebound for LeBron James. That was still an unreal experience.

The playoffs bring the best out of people.

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.

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 guess people looked at me in college, said I couldn't shoot or play defense. I proved them wrong.

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 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 don't think I really like going to class that much.

You've just got to go out there and make the right play.

You work all season to earn the trust of your teammates and the coaching staff.

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.

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've been watching Kobe ever since I can remember.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
