I have the natural ability to pick things up a lot faster than I think most people would.
That's something I embrace, just doing stuff not many people can do.
Chicago is a great city.
I want to put myself in the best position to stay out on the floor.
Whenever I guard a guard, I don't want to reach too much, but I will poke at the ball once to get him thinking.
Anthony Davis' lateral movement is one of a kind.
A lot of playcalls are for the corner 3. I thought that's something I should really work on.
Although there's no one I really pattern my game after, I am a firm believer in stealing stuff from other people.
I'm looking forward to playing against LeBron.
I don't want to take away from anything from my time at Texas. I think it was actually pretty darn special.
Coach Smart did a great job of just letting me come to terms with myself as a basketball player and a person.
I credit a lot of my success to being from Harlem, growing up there.
Coach Smart, he's given me so much freedom to sort of grow into who I was.
There are things that I need to do better, and I need to get to a point where it's hard to not have me on the court.
I truly have New York embedded in my blood.
I don't know why, but I don't really get too nervous before games or practices or whatever.
I'm going to be a guy who can defend a bunch of different positions.
Being told to get out, not being afraid to fail and try new things - that really makes a difference.
Absolutely, I believe that I have the tools, the presence, and all the make-up to be the No. 1 pick.
As far as what teams need and what I need, I'm open to anything a team has to say about how they envision me in their future.
I like to think of myself as a pretty good shot blocker.
Whatever the team needs, I'll do.
I love traveling. I love basketball.
I'm super competitive.
Both offensively and defensively, the presence that I have is pretty profound.
I want everything and anything I can get from this game. Because in reality, I owe this game my life.
My shot-blocking ability, it's really second to none.
Having the tools and the intangibles mean nothing unless you are surrounded by the best.
With that corner 3, it's the highest percentage shot in the game.
I have game-changing defensive abilities.
