It was something I looked forward to. I knew what I was coming into. I knew we lost nine seniors. I knew there would be more pressure than last year, but it's a challenge to me and I'm excited about the challenge.

They taught me a lot. I was brought up through the system by the seniors. I've played all four years here and I was like a little brother to them. They looked after me.

It's difficult to still score with double-teams and box-and-ones, but it's just another test for me. I'm finding other ways to score.

Last year, I didn't do much scoring, because we had people like Leonard, Sean Glenn and J.P, but I knew those guys would be gone this year and I had to step it up.

Amen, sister, ... All apologies to Tom Cruise.

'Pastoralia' by George Saunders. Possibly my favorite book. It's one of the weirdest books I've ever read. If Monty Python and Thomas Pynchon had a love child, and it was raised by Frank Zappa on a weird commune, that would be this book.
