Question: What is it that makes you such good rebounder?
Answer: Ever since I've been in high school, I had an NBA player on my team who now plays for the Boston Celtics. Whenever he'd shoot the ball and miss it, I'd go in for the rebound and score. That's where I think I got my rebounding mentality from.
Question: So when you're on the court do you do anything different or special?
Answer: Coaches just tell me when the ball is shot, get my nose to the rim and that's it.
Question: What do you like about playing for Coach Rose?
Answer: I like that he has a certain passion for the game. Everything that he does he puts his heart into it and that's what he wants us to do. That's why I love him so much.
Question: What else do you bring to the team that many people might not know about?
Answer: I would say energy and being funny in the locker room. I have a tendency after practice or games that we win to come in and just start cracking jokes and make everyone laugh. So I would say I just have the ability to brighten everyone's day.
