I just started growing. And everyone said, 'You should probably play basketball.' So I said, 'All right. I'll give it a shot.' ”

I can run up and down, shoot threes, or go inside. I can also get involved by setting screens and rebounding. ”

Back then, when I was a kid, I watched Vince Carter every now and then. ”

Being from Canada, we never had, like, the basketball games live on TV. ”

I feel like I'm a nice character, and I don't have my own agenda. ”

With my jump shot, once I get that consistent, I feel like that is going to be a huge advantage for me. ”

People doubted me, said I lacked skill. I'm just trying to stay consistent, use my minutes wisely, and do what I can with the opportunity. ”

The experience of playing EuroLeague ball gave myself a different perspective on just the way the game's played. Every possession matters. Everything has to be on point. Offence, defensively - everybody has to be connected. ”

Living by yourself, technically by yourself, at the age of 16 is not easy to do. ”

Just gotta try to have fun. It's a business. You just gotta come out there and play hard because you never know when another player might take your spot. ”
