It’s exciting. I’m very happy to be where I’m at and I’m just trying to enjoy it -- a lot of nerves going on right now and just happy that it’s here. |

I just want to let my game take care of that and just go out and play. I have to improve on a lot of things. But as long as I keep that mentality, I feel that things will work out for me. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

 |
|
Definitely strength. I feel like I can get stronger. Perimeter shooting … I think my perimeter shooting can get a lot better. And, using my length to my advantage. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
I feel my ability to make others around me better is going to help me out. I feel like a lot of people can feed on that and it can become contagious to the team. |

I planned on going to college. I didn’t have any idea at all that I would go straight to the NBA. I always knew it was my dream, but you just have to prepare for things as they come at you. |
|

It's going good. Just the maturing process. Got a lot of things to work on. I've been getting a little bit of playing time, but mainly just worried about getting the wins. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Working on getting stronger, working on my leadership skills. Getting everybody in the right position at the right time. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Nothing has really surprised me yet. I've basically just been preparing myself for it. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|

|
Rick Brunson has been helped me out a little bit, and obviously Chicago guys, Bobby Simmons and Corey Maggette, just looking out after me, trying to guide me a little bit. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Not really. It's going by. I'd like to go back, but right now I'm worried about the season. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
It was disappointing and frustrating, to me. But it's just part of stuff that goes on and stuff that happens, so I really couldn't blame myself and get too down on myself, I had to make the best of the situation. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Exactly. It's all rehab. It's a big part. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
I expected to do work, but I didn't know what to expect. So that's the way I went in there. It was just going in there and not knowing what to expect; just knowing that I'm going to have to put in the effort. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Mainly, it's different running a team. You have to be more vocal as a point guard. Youu have to be vocal, you have to be demanding, you have to take care of the ball, you just have to lead, know what I mean? Especially by example. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Probably, I'd have to say, Trevor Ariza. I didn't know he was going to come out with a bang like he did. He certainly surprised a lot of people. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Can't really worry about other rookies. Yeah, we were the two point guards, but I play my game, we're in different situations, and just trying to make my team better. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Obviously my passing, ball-handing, and my IQ as far as (ready) for the game. Things to work on: my perimeter shooting and my strength. |
