I play for something bigger than basketball.
I always thought I could do everything that a guard could do.
It doesn't matter where you get drafted.
For me, I had to believe in myself, and work hard.
As an NBA player you want to help your team win at any cost, that's my main goal.
It's the NBA. It's a business.
I've always been a hard worker.
In college from my freshman year to my sophomore year, I always got better, and that's just my mindset.
I just put in a lot of work and a lot of hours in the gym just working on my game.
To be honest, I see more championships, I see MVP, I see so much more that I can accomplish. There's no reason to be satisfied.
I said before, I want to be a starter, I want to be an all-star - not a borderline all-star.
For me, I don't put a cap on what I can accomplish, right?
I just want to keep working and keep getting better and I'm always going to get better.
Being able to make plays goes a lot, helps me navigate the defense and find open guys or score myself.
Like I always say, whatever is my weakness, I try to work on it and I try to get better at it.
I'm always big on getting better.
It means a lot when your peers see your improvement.
A lot of people get to the NBA, but how many people stay in the NBA?
I gotta continue within the offence and just understand it, pick and choose when to attack and things like that.
For me, it's just about working hard every day and getting better.
For people that know my story, they know how important my dad is.
Moving from Cameroon to Texas, that was a change. Learning English, the culture, everything was different so I had to adjust.
My dad worked hard to take care of six kids. He worked hard to make sure we had everything we needed.
