00:00The draft process and everything feels surreal, to take the floor and

00:04get your first summer league practices.

00:06How does it feel as part of the process?

00:09Super exciting, finally getting to work, finally getting out there with the guys

00:13and getting acclimated, because at the end of the day, it's just hoops.

00:17So that's what I'm here for and that's what I'm looking forward to.

00:20What are you hoping to showcase in the summer league?

00:23Just my play style, playing the right way, being a good teammate,

00:29fitting within the system, I feel like that's my strength.

00:33Helping other people out, making their lives easier.

00:36We talked to you shortly after the draft, now it's been a couple of weeks.

00:39How has this been a process for you and just how excited are you?

00:42Yeah, it's been slowing down a lot.

00:45It was hectic right after the draft, going over here with my parents in

00:50the press conference meeting everybody and now it's kind of starting to settle in.

00:56What have you noticed about Zed and AB so far?

00:59They're funny, they're really funny.

01:01But yeah, I mean, obviously super talented guys.

01:07Even though I'm the new kid on the block, they're a little younger than me, so

01:10they got that talent though.

01:12So they've been around for years, so I've been picking their brain and

01:17trying to get as much intel as I can get.
