"I want to play Villanova basketball." — Jalen Brunson

He's always been tough on me, but I've had to figure out when he's being a coach and when he's being a dad. Once I figured that out, it was much easier. It's definitely tough, something that took years to figure out. Just knowing he was looking for what's best for me, not just yelling at me as a parent. It took maturity.

I'm not satisfied with anything I do.

I just feel like I've been in a lot of high-pressure situations, and I think I'm able to stay poised in those situations.

I want to be a part of a winning culture.

Stats aren't everything.

I'm always finding a way to be successful.

I like who I am. I'm different. I work really hard just to be where I am, and I know I'm not gonna stop doing that.

My parents always told me never be a follower, always be a leader. It's very difficult to do, to step out and be different and not follow the norm. If you want what's best for your team, you gotta be different.
