On This Year’s Summer League Compared To Last Year:

“Last year with the COVID protocols, I missed a lot of practices and games, and I got in late. So this year to get that full experience will be great to showcase growth from the G League season to now.”

On The One Aspect Of His Game He Has Taken A Jump During The Offseason:

“There’s a different feel for the game for me now. Understanding concepts a lot quicker, a lot better. Just learning how to play with other guys, you can stick me anywhere on offense or defense, and I know what’s going on.”

On His Position In Today’s NBA:

“I think when it’s all said and done, I can be one of the most versatile players ever to play the game, and that’s what I’m working towards every day. Right now, I think I’m in that 4/5, 4/3 range, but as the 5, you got to be able to guard the five and that comes with maturity and my body and strength. With the 3, continuing to be able to guard the three and do guard-like things on offense.”

On The Feedback From Summer League Head Coach Zach Guthrie And The Rest Of The Staff:

“Feedback is keep going. That’s what I’m hearing from the guys. They love the growth and progression. To keep going and keep working hard, and they see it.”

On What Would Be A Successful Upcoming NBA Season:

“Polishing those things that I’ve been working on all summer and then taking whatever next step is in the growth of that.”

On Summer League Goals:

“I’m going to feel great if we can win every last one of these games, and I help.”
