On getting strength back in his knee …
“It was definitely tough to get it back. It was something that I haven’t ever been through before but I enjoyed the process. I just got to look at basketball in a different perspective, so now I’m ready to go and I’ll be better this year.”
On what was enjoyable about the process …
“Just being able to watch practice, watch the games. Just being able to experience everything from I guess a front-row seat. It was just good and it prepared me.”
On when he realized the knee problem was going to keep him out for season …
“I guess after surgery. My knee, or not even my knee, my whole leg was really little so I just knew it was going to be a whole big process for me to just get strength back in my leg. The first month or so it wasn’t getting too big so I just knew it was going to take a little bit.”
On his confidence level after the injury …
“I feel great. I’ve been working out ever since I’ve been back. My shot feels good. My game feels good, so I am just ready to get out there and play.”
On if he’s excited or worried about competing for playing time with the amount of guards on this team…
“I’m excited. You come to Kentucky you know you are going to have to compete. Guys coming in every year so it’s not a big deal to me. I love to compete and that’s why I’m here.”
On if he’s excited about Calipari saying he wants shooters everywhere on the court this season…
“Yeah, for sure. That is why I came here last year. Just unfortunately I wasn’t able to do it. I’m just really excited for this year, excited to play and excited to help the team win.”
