” When you arrive in the league, you have an idea of the type of player you want to be, with this style of play he confided. ” I started all over again [en arrivant à Rio Grande]. I wasn’t even a two-way contract or an assigned NBA player. I was a regular G-League player. And that’s when I realized that the way back [vers la NBA] was going to be long. I had to start all over again, to prove my worth again. It was the hardest to swallow. But once this bitterness has passed, we get to work. »
