(by way of Memphis Grizzlies):
“I feel coming into the league, I feel lots of people simply assumed that I didn’t actually do something offensively, which if you happen to labored out with me, if you happen to knew me, if you happen to performed towards me, you’d know that’s not the reality. I’m excellent getting downhill. Excellent at attending to the cup. Excellent at kicking out to shooters. Like I mentioned, I can cross, I can dribble, and I really like making performs for myself and others. Clearly, the largest factor for me is having the ability to grow to be a extremely good catch-and-shoot risk to the place I can open up my drive and my finishes and my playmaking for different individuals as effectively. Additionally coming off of ball screens. Being a shooter off the dribble is an effective factor, you recognize what I imply? I feel there’s a number of guys that I see my future with, whether or not it’s the Jrue Holidays of the world, the Derrick Whites of the world, even the Lu Dorts and Kris Dunns of the world. These guys which might be ready to slot in any position and to slot in any place. These are guys that I’ve been rather a lot.
“However I feel, like I mentioned, I’m a man that basically believes I could be a one-of-one participant. I do know that sounds loopy to anyone that simply watches basketball and doesn’t know rather a lot about me, however that’s actually how I consider myself. I feel, like I mentioned, having the ability to seize boards, having the ability to cross, having the ability to get out in transition, defend one via 5 and offensively play one via 5 — I feel is one thing that’s distinctive and I don’t know a number of gamers in league historical past which might be ready to do this at an excellent charge. So, having the ability to worth and cling my hat on that’s massive. However clearly, the capturing is the largest factor that I need to grow to be: an awesome shooter shifting ahead, and I’ve a plan to do this.”
