Uh Fred said earlier that he think your RGB stint was kind of helpful what did you learn there or how were you helped there I mean I was very grateful you know just go down AR um learn the game of basketball play Team Basketball that’s what I did so um just mind all
The distraction to just you know focus on the main goal and I try to get myself back up um to the real team the rock is there anybody you had in your offensive game after myself but uh I’ll say um Russell West some I grew up watching when uh younger Russell West
You’ve obviously put in a lot of work for yourself to get to this how much do you lean on your family and them to support you as well I mean both of them my dad and my mom always been there since they won then uh flying up to from
Maryland um coming up here to watch me play through all throughout the holid so I was very grateful for them you know just come out here you know opportunity to see me play you’re getting more extended minutes you are think that you’re seeing the basket more see it
More effective the basket’s opening up for me so I mean I think every time I get on the floor just season moment and embrace the opportunity and just you know don’t take it for granted do you think you’re as explosive as young R uh yes hard to debate very good debate
