A lot of guys go into the NBA not being able to shoot the ball well, but then they become great shooters.

If I don't need to shoot the ball, I won't do it.

If I ever make a lot of money in the NBA, I'm going to have this massive tank, and it's going to have an alligator in it.

I think my versatility is a big strength. I don't think anybody can guard me, just because I'm 6'10 and can dribble and play point. If I have a little guy on me, I take him to the post. For me to be able to then pass the ball, it helps me a lot.

I look at the N.B.A. as a job, a great job to have, so I think, for me, I would have loved the opportunity to go to the N.B.A. out of high school. If you're not ready, you're not ready. If you are ready, I think you should be able to go.

We're definitely more experienced and more athletic. And, we have guys who can shoot the ball. Now it's going to make teams have to make a decision because we have guys one through five who can shoot.
