being ready for the NBA when you get your opportunity, but also trying to be successful in the G League while you're there. So that's why I'm super excited about these series and these episodes coming out because people can see how sometimes difficult and exciting this lifestyle is, man.

taking my weaknesses each year and becoming more each year. How can I be better than I was last year? And that's really my only mindset.
