Who was the man in your high school your Senior year? Well, I would say my best friend Aairon Savage who plays football for the Auburn Tigers now, but we were always together so you could say we both were What’s been going on with you for the summer? Just working on my game trying to get better. Lifting hard, doing drills, and trying to prepare mentally. Become a basketball analyst and scout yourself? Solid all around player, great leadership skills on the court, and best skill is shooting the ball What have you done this summer to improve what you consider a weak part of your game? Well, since high school I’ve been working on my defense because in college everyone can score, the person who plays and shines is the one who can get it done on both ends of the court. What does your father tell you about basketball? My father tells me to be more assertive at times and that there isn’t anyone that knows the game better than I do and that’s why I’m at the level that I’m at. “Some may be more athletic and taller than you, but they don’t know the game like you do.” What’s the toughest player you ever had to face on the collegiate level? Tim Smith, Atlantic Sun Player of the Year, my own teammate. You won’t find a quicker guard that can play with the ball like it’s on a yoyo string like he can. I know you had an injury during part of the past season. What was the hardest part about that? Well, my injury occurred my second game out of my red-shirt and we were just getting some confidence about ourselves as a team and I felt like I needed to be on the court to help my teammates out. I felt like I was letting them down in a way. What’s the difference in playing on the collegiate level than in high school? In college, everyone was the superstar on their high school team meaning that everyone in college can play and every night it’s going to be a dog fight What is life after basketball for you? Hopefully, either coaching a high school team or going into Physical Therapy what I’m in school for. Who is your favorite NBA player? Bron Bron, he’s a straight up BEAST on the court and he’s only 3 years into the league What’s your opinion on people comparing Dwayne Wade to Michael Jordan? D Wade showed that he’s going to be great but right now he still has a lot of work to do to be compared to MJ Which one do you think is the coldest? Allen Iverson crossing up Michael Jordan or Michael Vick splitting two Minnesota Vikings defenders for a touchdown? When A.I got MJ. It was like he was playing with him. A.I did a small one first to see what What’s the coldest thing you’ve ever done so far in your career?
