On the challenges of getting comfortable shooting in a new arena:
“It was hard to be honest. Today I was not feeling that good in terms of rhythm on my shot. I really do not know what happened today. I was shooting in the warm up and couldn’t make shots, but I got in the game and they started falling so I just started taking opportunities.”
On how much of an emphasis it was for him during the offseason to cut down on turnovers:
“That’s something I’ve been working on a lot. I knew since last season that I was struggling with that and I needed to fix that. I think coach has done a pretty good job with all of us in terms of taking care of the ball. He makes sure every time down the floor that we take care of the ball and get a good shot. I think that’s the way we have to play and it’s been working for us.”
