I've been through losing so much in this league, so to finally get a taste of winning and what the playoffs are going to feel like, I'm excited.

I just know what I'm capable of. When I don't do it, you can always throw the excuse - you're young, it's a process, this and that - but I know what I can do. Just staying patient and just keep putting in hard work and keep God first and the sky is the limit.

Me being young, I'm going to definitely mess up a lot more than I'm going to make the right play, but I want my teammates to be able to trust me and look at me as a veteran guard trying to run the team.

I am tired of talking about what I do or what I am going to do.

I feel like wherever I go, I will make it home.

I wasn't upset to leave Los Angeles.

It's almost like going to high school before you got to go to college. You felt a little bit better before you got to college. That's how I feel about Brooklyn.

I have nothing but great things to say about Brooklyn.

I knew I wasn't going back to Brooklyn... I never knew exactly. I just kinda - you work with these guys every day. You see the same players, you see the same coaching staff, you see the same trainers every day. So when they start to act a little different, you recognize it... I could feel it.

No player in this league - they might be really, really good and they look like they're playing nonchalant, but they're not.

When I play, I'm playing for myself and I'm playing for my family too.

My family is my biggest critic.

Any time anybody says something bad about me, that means I've got to work. If they say I'm not living up to what my potential is, I've go to work - and that's every day.

Some players thrive in the open-style, AAU games - the all-star games. But when it comes to playing in an actual system and having to 'think' the game, you see where some guys separated themselves.

No one is going to give me opportunities. I've gotta take them.

I'll adapt to any situation. I've been adapting to different situations my whole life.

It's hard to be the point guard, especially playing with a young team.

I know how easy it is to get assists. But you can't be a pass-first guy and get assists. You have to attack.

I can't imagine being in an All-Star Game, knowing that you're among some of the best of the best.

I got the chance to experience the full effect of New York and win in New York. There's nothing better.

I appreciate the city of New York just embracing me, and Brooklyn in general.

I think I created my own narrative, being a guy who kind of got chewed up and put through the grinder and coming out on top.

I did my first winter in New York and that was tough. So to get the opportunity to go somewhere where it's warm again, I think that played a major part in my plan.

I'm the best player in the draft. I truly feel that way. But I feel like you can ask anybody in the draft and they would have said the same thing. I just feel like I showcased it on many levels and I was put through so many different scenarios where I had to make the best out of it. And I had a lot of success with it.
