On making the decision in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic
“It was really hard. COVID-19 has made it really hard because I had to make a decision that I wasn’t expecting to make. Then I expected to go workout with the teams and I felt like that was another part of the job I had to get done. Without the workouts it makes it extremely hard for me and guys like me in my position for the second round. It was really hard because it brought a lot of uncertainty. We did not have all the information we needed to make a clear decision. It was really hard because we did not know what it was going to happen or what could happen.
On reaching out to former teammates Grant Williams and Admiral Schofield
“Yes absolutely. I tried to talk to as many people as I could. I took information from anywhere, so of course I called Grant Williams and we had a good conversation. I talked to Jordan Bone too and tried to talk to Kyle (Alexander) too. They really gave me some feedback because they have different contracts with the NBA. They had different perspectives on the NBA, so they really helped me out with this process and I’m thankful for that.”
