One thing about the NBA is that it's definitely not a faster pace. Duke has prepared me well. There's nothing here that I haven't seen already. It's not faster. If anything, it's a little slower with all the one-on-one play. I feel like I'm fitting in the grove well here. Again, I couldn't have asked for a better situation.

I'm getting paid to play the game that I love, ... If anyone wants to criticize that, they can come say it to my face. I didn't get drafted because of what happened at Duke, and I wiped that off my chest and I moved on. People can say what they want to say, but I'm in the NBA right now.

I think I can help out the team. And people can doubt that or not believe it, but that's the feedback that I'm getting. Time will tell.

I'm doing really, really well. I couldn't have asked for a better situation. Everything is coming into place right now. I feel blessed to be in the situation I'm in.

The rims here are soft, just like when I left, ... This is home to me and I'm happy to be back.

My career was mediocre.

My back was really against the wall there for a little bit, especially after I didn't get drafted.

When I come back down here, of course people are going to doubt me and find it hard to believe that I'm doing what I'm doing. ? People can say what they want to say, but I'm doing it.

I've concentrated a lot on trying to slim back up and kind of lose that real muscular frame I had, ... I've been working a lot on my footwork and on my perimeter game. I feel like since I left Duke, I got a lot of my quickness back, a lot of my explosiveness back. It's been really good for me here in this camp.
