"I just got to be ready to knock down shots." — Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

That was probably the biggest adjustment for a lot of people... You have a ball-dominant guy like LeBron that makes plays for everybody. You gotta just be ready at any point because you might not get a shot the first 15 minutes and you might get three or four after that.

Like each and every year I got to think that way, anyway. I got to think about the next person trying to come in and take my job, so I got to continue to... work hard and prove myself.

When I was in the second unit, it just took me time to find my rhythm just playing with a lot of new guys. But once I got in the starting lineup, it kind of just opened up a little bit.

You've got the same rhythm every day just to keep you going. So once that rhythm is broken, it's kind of hard to get back with it when you got a lot of things going on.

Put on about 10 more pounds, that'd be good for me and the development of my game.

Most teams won't really focus on one player because they've got multiple players to defend and that will open up a lot of things for me.

I love to defend.

No one gets beat by 61 and then come out and plays flat the next game.
