“My defense is improving, I need to add a lot of size, but I’m going to continue to add weight and work in the weight room and I’ll be able to defend pretty well. I have quick feet and long arms so my defense will continue to improve.”

On joining Francisco Garcia, also from Brooklyn:
“He was my roommate when I went to ABCD camp after my junior year going into my senior year so we got a chance to talk. He’s a really good player and a great person and he’s going to keep improving also. I’m going to enjoy being out there with those guys.”

“I feel real happy. This was a life dream and for it to come true is a real accomplishment. The Kings were really high on me after I had two good workouts with them, so I knew it was a possibility.”

“Everybody was really happy and excited for me because they know the long way I had to go. I worked and never used excuses.”

“Playing for the Kings is a dream come true. The Maloof Brothers did a good job building this team from scratch and I’m impressed with the whole organization.”

“I thanked (Musselman) for picking me to be a part of this team and it’s going to be a great place to play. The Kings have the best home court in the NBA and they have great owners. I’m happy to be part of that.”

About playing with Ron Artest and Mike Bibby:
“Those are really awesome players, NBA all-stars, and my game is going to mature playing with those guys. I’m going to get better and better.”

How he thinks the Kings will use him:
“I’m not sure, but whatever they want me to do I’m going to do it, and I’m gonna start working as soon as I get down there. I want to make the strength coach my best friend because I want to get my body where it’s supposed to be.”

His thoughts on Sacramento:
“My first time in California was when I worked out for the Kings. I liked it out there. I got a chance to go to the mall and the people out there were really nice and everybody was saying hello so I felt very at home.”

On his conversation with Geoff Petrie after being taken at #19:
“It felt good to hear that someone like him has faith in you. It’s one of those unforgettable memories.”

What he’d like to tell the fans:
“I’m going to come out there and work as hard as I can and do anything to help the team. I feel the Kings made the right decision. I’m not satisfied with being drafted. I’ll make the fans proud.”
