It's great to be compared to a great player like Tracy McGrady, but I think I'm my own type of player. I'm 6'10'' and a bit bigger than he is as a player. I also think I'm a bit different and play a different position. He's more of a guard, and I can play all around through five.

I think I have the skills. I'm a great judge of talent. I just know basketball.

I expected to be a pretty good NBA point guard and hopefully win a championship. But MVP and all this stuff? Not really.

To be a great player or a good player in the NBA, I have to work on my perimeter game.

I can make all the throws. My mental side is a strength as far as understanding defense schemes and our playbook. I'm able to change plays when needed. I think that sets me apart.

Yeah, I play a lot of point guard. LeBron plays a lot of point guard. A lot of people are thinking too much on positions.

I think I can be pretty special. I think I can impact a lot in the NBA, especially with my size and my shooting ability and athleticism and just being a humble person.

The NBA has the best point guards in the world, so it is important that I come ready to play every night.

I've always been a very harsh judge of talent because if you don't play the game on both ends of the court, and if you don't play hard every night, I'm probably not going to be in love with you as a player. I'm going to respect you because you're good, but these players are unique.

I'll practice as good as I can, but I know that I play even better, with the qualities I have - leadership, my ability to make something happen in games, winning.
