Primer ao NBA: “You have to be satisfied, but you always want more and to improve. I work so that the ceiling is higher every day and I leave my life for that. Certain things have surprised me, but almost everything as I expected. If I could have gone to the NBA sooner, I would have gone sooner. You have to enjoy the day to day and work.”
Life in the NBA: “The day to day is to train, train, train… I spend almost all day between the track and the gym. When you see players like Lebron or Curry, it freaks me out a bit, but if you want to compete against them trying to defend them, you have to take away that respect because if you don’t they will always give you 50 points.”
Houston: “The objective is to form a solid group of young players, that we know each other well and that we improve, reaching the Playoffs or who knows if to win a ring. We have the players so that, based on work, we can reach that goal”.
