<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Q: Does it mean a lot that Patrick Ewing, Dikembe Mutombo and Alonzo Mourning would reach out to you in the way they have? Sweetney: Yeah, most definitely. It meant a lot because those guys have established themselves in the NBA as great players, two of them are top 50 players, and I think it’s an honor for them to show me the things they do and to teach me about life and everything like that. I think it’s a really big honor for me to do that. Q: Did you ever see yourself as being in that line of big men to come out of Georgetown? Sweetney: It’s going to take a while to do that because those guys have established themselves in the NBA as great players and I’m not in the NBA yet. I haven’t even been drafted yet. So I have a long ways to go to put myself in the same position as them. Q: What are some of things those guys tell you that it takes to succeed in the NBA? Sweetney: Basically they just tell me it’s a lot of hard work, just focus and keep my mind and my head right. Basically just work hard out there. Q: What do you think might be going through your head tomorrow night when you’re onstage? Sweetney: Oh, it’s going be a lot. It’s going to be a nervous situation not knowing when your name’s going to be called. Just sitting there, and once my name is called I’ll be relieved and this’ll be the greatest moment in my life so far. Q: Do you have any feel for where you might go in this draft? Sweetney: Right now, all I know is the top three picks and after that it’s just up in the air and I have to just sit there and wait for my name to be called. </div>
