I hooked up with the junior team and that is where the Brahmas saw me. I was more interested in playing pro than going to college, so that is what led me to Fort Worth.

I was ecstatic. It was a huge opportunity.

A lot of people have a lot of ideas. But a lot of people never do anything. That's frustrating. The hardest part is just getting into it and stepping up and doing it.

There's definitely a lot of anticipation for this year. There's a lot of expectations and excitement around the team. We're just ready to get going.

I know that the Bucks have established a winning tradition. I wanted to come here because the team is in the playoffs every year and has a chance to win.

I think the people who will be affected the most will be the younger guys. Early on we will be able to find out how it will affect us.

I suddenly realized I knew next to nothing about them.

He's got the experience. He's got that air about him. You can tell he wants to be out there.
