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.

It's hard to be so mentally competitive and when you're not competing you try to turn it off but it doesn't work like that. I don't think you can just turn it off, I think you still find ways to be competitive - if it's playing a video game, if it's playing cards.

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.
