You think you're grown in college but you're not, because everything is kind of controlled. You lose the camaraderie and suddenly find yourself alone in an apartment just feeling lost.
Leaders set the tone for their peers. Peers look up to them and say, 'They're doing it, so I'm doing it.'
If you don't see anything wrong with your game, you need to wake up.
I love getting in the open floor and running.
Just listen to your instincts. Don't talk to someone or start a relationship out of pity.

He's a threat, he can play. His success has helped us as a team. He's been getting in the paint, he's been getting guys a lot of wide-open shots and he's been getting easy buckets.

He's a successful GM. He has a good rep. You can see his work right now. It's real good to know, just to have somebody come in who has pretty good credentials.
Hopefully, this is the last year I won't be busy at this time of year.
Bryan told me one of the reasons he came here was because we had a promising young nucleus, he's just really excited about working with us. We can't go anywhere but up.
