<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">I was just talking to your teammate Paul Millsap a little bit about what it's like being a rookie. I know you've only experienced preseason so far, but what's that experience been like? It's been a good experience. You learn a lot. Me, Paul, Dee Brown, the other rookies, we're just trying to make this transition as easy as possible and just try to contribute to this team as much as possible. We're trying to get us back into the playoffs and win some extra games. Everything right now is a learning experience and that's why the preseason has been helpful for everybody because it gives you a little taste of what the NBA season is going to be like. Like I said, everything's a learning experience and we're just trying to make the transition as easy as possible. This team, I know Deron (Williams) is only in his second-year, but he's a solid point guard, a good leader. You've got guys like Andrei (Kirilenko) and Carlos (Boozer). What have the veterans told you so far about how you can have a prosperous NBA career? Just to play hard. I talk to Deron all the time, and I just ask him what he went through his rookie year, the ups and downs, when he hit the wall, and how he got out of that. He just told me to play as hard as possible and make the easy plays. He told me play defense and rebound and the offensive plays will come easy. Me personally, I just try to go out there and make steals and do the simple things to stay on the court and get myself some minutes. The older guys they really help me a lot, and that's why I'm thankful that I got drafted here because you can reach out to those guys and ask them any question and feel comfortable asking.</div> <div align="center">Full Interview</div>
