Q: What kind of skills do you think you are going to bring to an NBA team?
A: More than anything, I just want to win, wherever I go. I don't care how we do it—if that means I take 2 shots or if that means I take 20 shots. I just want to win and I think my determination is my most valuable thing that I will bring to a team.
Q: Do you think if you came here you could be a leader right away?
A: I think so. I'm going to try and be a leader wherever I go. It's my job as a point guard and it's what I'll be called upon to do. It's a job I'm not scared of. Wherever I go, I'm not going to try and lose. Losing is not part of my vocabulary.
Q: Do you feel your education has given you just about everything you've needed to this point?
A: Yeah, Duke was a great program in preparing me, but I've been getting prepared my whole life. In high school, I went to a team that wasn't supposed to be very good and we did really well in my freshman year. Then we got better and better as the years went on. It was the same thing with college. My freshman year at Duke was one where we lost a lot of good players, but we turned it around and ended up number one in the country by the end of the year. Challenges are something that I love. Every day people are providing different challenges for me and I just love it because it is another way to go out and prove people wrong.
Q: Are you confident that you'll be able to step in and start10 right away?
A: I'm confident that I can step in right away and play the role that I'm needed to play, wherever that is. If it's not me starting, that's fine. Like I said before, I just want to win.
问：你认为你会给NBA带来什么样的技艺？
答：最重要的是，我只想赢球，无论我在哪儿。我不在乎以何种方式赢球，就算是要投两次，或者投20次。我只想赢球，我想我的决心是我所能带给球队的最有价值的东西。
问：你认为你来后马上就能成为领军人物吗？
答：我想是。无论我在哪儿，我将努力去成为一名领军人物。作为控球后卫这是我的职责，是我应该做的，也是我所不惧怕的。无论我在哪儿，我将努力不输球，我的词汇里没有“输”这个词。
问：你是否觉得你有今天的成就完全归功于你所接受的教育？
答：是的。在杜克大学所接受的教育为我打下了很好的基础，但是我的一生都在为我将要从事的事业做准备。在高中，我加盟一个并不被看好的球队，高一的时候我们就取得了非常好的成绩，随着时间的推移我们打得越来越好。大学也是一样，大一的时候杜克大学队走了许多优秀的球员，但是我们扭转了局势，到年底我们获得了全国第一。我喜欢挑战。人们每天都在向我提出不同的挑战。我喜欢这样，因为这是你脱颖而出，证明人们错误的另一种方法。
问：你是否有信心能够融入公牛队并且马上就以首发上场？
答：我有信心马上融入球队，扮演我应该扮演的角色，无论打什么位置。如果不能首发，那没关系。就像我刚才说的那样，我只想赢球。
