“I'm willing to do just about anything to try and contribute to getting us back on a growth path that is just and good for America.”

“I really believe I can come in and contribute for any team possible.”

“I know most of the black players who preceded and followed me at Duke. They all contribute to our tradition of excellence on the court.”
