He looks very comfortable. We forgot (the near-trade) already. Everyone is happy he is here.

With more minutes, I am just trying to play my game. When I'm open, I am just trying to hit the open shot and tonight it was falling. I know if I give 110 percent, good things will happen.

Every game that I play, I get more confident with my shot and with the ball. I am just trying to get more comfortable out there each game. I have a better feel for when my shots can come in our offense.

I know my opportunity is going to come. I felt great the whole game. I'm much more comfortable this year. I know all the plays.

Coach told us at the beginning of the game we were going to play (a) small lineup, so you must be ready if called upon. You need to play 100 percent and play hard. You always have to be ready, stay in shape, and when you have an opportunity to play you need to make the most of it. It's a great feeling to step on the court and contribute tonight.

I was throwing across my body a little bit and it was causing me to lose some miles per hour off my fastball. But it's something that I've been working on and I'm starting to straighten it out. It will help me with the feel on off-speed pitches and I'll get a little bit more zip on my fastball.
