There's a lot of Bucks jerseys being ordered online and a lot of people asking for jerseys, ... There will be expectations on me as the No. 1 pick, from the media around the world, basically. Every game I'm going to be scrutinized, and I just have to deal with that.
Definitely not. I don't like how it looks, but I don't play basketball for looks.
That's what we spoke about in the locker room, character in an NBA game. It's more crucial to play hard in the last minute than the first 39. Anything can happen in the final minute of an NBA game.
That's not my goal, to win rookie of the year. I don't care about that stuff. Individual goals. Usually, the rookie of the year doesn't make it to the playoffs. I'd rather make it to the playoffs.
The only way to beat Phoenix is hope to get them on a bad day and hope they miss shots.
We didn't want him to go off for 50, but he shot the ball so well coming out that it's was kind of hard to stop him. Other guys didn't get involved in the second half and that keyed us.
That's the NBA life for you. You've got no excuses not to be ready - get the smell off your body, ice on your knees and get back into it.
We'd rather get five and get Cleveland, but it's going to be a tough game.
I'm just trying to play hard. I'm just proving a point to myself that I can play in this league.
I'm just happy to be a part of the weekend. To be an All-Star is something very special, and that will take a couple years. It might not happen next year, it might happen the year after ? but it's definitely a goal I have in my sights.
I'm excited just to play, and excited to be in the national spotlight.
I'm definitely honoured to be the No. 1 ticket-holder. I've followed the league since I was a kid and I've got some close friends playing in the NBL.
I'm definitely going to be coming into sport. It will be in Australia. Basketball will hopefully be the priority,
I caught up with a lot of family. I didn't do much in Croatia. Then I went back to Australia and tried to get back on the weights. It wasn't a circus like it was here before the draft.
