There's going to be some ups, there's going to be some downs, but we will support him, and we believe in him because we see the day-to-day work... I'm happy when he plays with energy, he affects everybody else, all his teammates."
"I just wanted to just add some tools in my bag, and that's the move that I really focused on,"
"I'm just being assertive, knowing how teams are going to guard me."
"That's probably one of the biggest things I worked on this summer, was just my body and free throw shooting. I really just kind of changed my whole shot... Feels good. So, just keep going."
