Once you get out there and start playing basketball, whether the NBA or college or whatever arena you are playing in or who you are playing in front of, the juices start going, and you want to just go out there and play to the best of your abilities.
I love Justin Bieber, love Drake.
I've definitely gotten better, to where everyone can see that I'm not a defensive liability.
I never thought I'd play basketball in China.
I never thought that I would ever go over to China for any reason - then to be able to go over there and play basketball, embracing the culture.
I can play off the ball some, and that's fine with me as long as I can be out on the floor. But I am definitely more natural as a point guard than I am as a two guard.
My best friend in the pros is Brandon Davies, who I played with at BYU.
Even though sometimes you don't get the minutes you want to, you've just got to continue to work hard and know that if you keep playing hard and doing the right things, then eventually things will turn your way.
It's hard to speculate, but it was tough when coach Paul Westphal drafted me and wanted me there and then got fired two weeks into my rookie year.
I appreciate everything that happened in Sacramento. It was character building for me, continuing to go out and play hard. I feel like I progressed as a player.
It's always good to be back in Salt Lake City.
Shanghai is an amazing city. The fans were so nice to my family and to myself and just treated us as their own. I'm extremely grateful to the Sharks for that opportunity.
Sometimes it happens, especially if you're a shooter. They say that you can't play great defense.
As a competitor, you want to be out there. It's always tough to watch others play and know you've put in the time, you've put in work. But at the same time, you have to support them. You're a teammate, and you have to be the best teammate you can be and go out and continue to better, and hopefully you get an opportunity.
Obviously, I've had some tough times in my career. I've had some ups and downs just like anybody's life, but you just keep continuing to work hard.
There are so many things that you have no control over: whether you play or not, whether you get traded or not, or whether you get waived or not.
I appreciated all the support and love that I had from not only BYU fans and people from Utah, but all over the country.
