<v Speaker 1>but the top player in the G League by getting

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:01.880

<v Speaker 1>were just named to the All G League First Team,

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 1>the All Rookie Team, and the All Defensive Team. You're

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 1>someone who writes down his goals. First of all, do

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 1>you physically write your goals down or do you keep

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:18.039
<v Speaker 1>them on your phone? I physically wrote them down. I

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:24.120
<v Speaker 1>got like the journal, okay. And second, as a precursor

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>to this question, you've talked about it before, because somebody

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 1>just asked you in a media session. But Philadelphia seventy

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 1>six Ers President of basketball Operations Daryl Morey came out

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:39.680
<v Speaker 1>and said, talked about your MBA potential, how you've proven

0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>yourself at every level, and that he quote expects the

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.680
<v Speaker 1>NBA to be next. So with that in mind and

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 1>defining your goals and that whole process, what's next for

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 1>you in terms of what are some of your upcoming

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 1>goals now that the G League season is over? Some

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 1>outcoming goals for me? Uh to lead lead my team

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>into a championship, you know, the seventy sixers. You know,

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 1>I want to be able to come in and help

0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>another opportunity with this group to to win, to win

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 1>it all. So so when I get the opportunity to

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>come in and help the team, you know, I just

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>make sure I'm ready. And when you found out speaking

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.639
<v Speaker 1>of the seventy Sixers, you and the team were when

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.320

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:03.240

<v Speaker 1>Visit christiannacare dot org. Let's quickly touch on the G

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 1>League season in the bubble. We were both in the

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 1>bubble with the Bluecoats made it to the G League

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Finals as a team, and you've talked individually. You tweeted

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>when the season was over about how you grew both

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>on the court and off the court as a person.

0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 1>In what ways did you feel like it was good

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 1>for your development playing for coach Johnson and that coaching

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 1>staff in Delaware? It was it was great for my

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 1>development coach Coach Johnson, coach conn Yeah, some of the

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.479
<v Speaker 1>trust of me, you know, he telling me to shoot

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 1>the ball more. You know, like he gave me a

0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of confidence he had He had a lot of

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 1>confidence in me, and he helped me put more confidence

0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 1>in myself. So I think when you got more confidence,

0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 1>that automatically makes you like a better player. Um and

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.599

<v Speaker 1>You know, I like reading like Okay, I'm learning about

0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 1>the human body, or like learning about the brain, like

0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.880

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 1>my goals, what I need to do, what it takes

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>to get there before we just do some quick hitters

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.920
<v Speaker 1>at the buzzer and get you out of here. What

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 1>do you think you'll remember the most? What are some

0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 1>of the things you'll remember the most about the G

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 1>League bubble when you look back on it. It gotta

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.920
<v Speaker 1>be my teammates. I had raised a group of guys

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:30.840
<v Speaker 1>around me. Dudes are hilarious. Who are the funny guys

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.600

<v Speaker 1>Uh justin You could probably just say the whole team.

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.840

<v Speaker 1>Ray Jean joining you with the sixers too, so that's

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 1>got to be pretty cool to have him around. It is,

<v Speaker 1>off is what's your favorite pregame meal? What do you

0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:34.400

<v Speaker 1>gotta be I like your foster. In a bubble, I

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>would be in stray peanut butter jelly sandwiches. There was

0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:49.400
<v Speaker 1>no shortage of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches there. They

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 1>were always out. Also in the bubble, you played chess.

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I know you brought your your PS five. You play

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 1>some video games as well. You said you like to

0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 1>read what would you say is your favorite hobby or

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.520
<v Speaker 1>thing to do when you're not playing basketball or working

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 1>out for basketball. That's tough. I mean I got to

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 1>pick one over the other. Right now, it's probably chess, right, Yeah,

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 1>it gotta be chess. I love playing chess. I'll go

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.600
<v Speaker 1>a chess for show. I'm putting you on the spot again.

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>But you can pick a TV show or a movie.

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>First thing that comes to mind, favorite TV show or movie.

0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Favorite TV show. The first thing that kind of mind

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:36.120
<v Speaker 1>is that show called Power Power for show. I watched

0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:40.880
<v Speaker 1>every episode like a few times. If you could only

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 1>have three apps on your phone, what would they be?

0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:51.640
<v Speaker 1>It's messages app. Sure everybody always asks that. Yeah, I

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:53.680
<v Speaker 1>don't know if that should be like included or not.

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 1>We can count it. So two. Your other two go

0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:05.359
<v Speaker 1>to is when you're not looking at text, messages, YouTube, Instagram.

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:10.120
<v Speaker 1>You're done messages, YouTube and Instagram. I would say a snapchat,

0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.360
<v Speaker 1>but I need the messages more to snatchat. All right,

0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.760
<v Speaker 1>this is the last one. It's a fill in the blank,

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.520
<v Speaker 1>so it's different. I'm gonna say a sentence and you

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.600
