I’m used to being the flame thrower . I’m just happy I could contribute . It was amazing . Since I signed with Duke I always dreamed about being in a high intensity game like that and delivering for my team and then coming out with the win - that was the most important part for me . Getting meaningful buckets, getting stops on defense, timely rebounds , it just felt amazing out there.

Obviously I know you’re going to ask me about Isiah so I’ll just beat you to it. And his attitude man has been incredible for not playing . I know as a young player , that’s difficult his first time really going through it and to be ready to go , you have to have some , you have to have some courage to be in the moments and do what he did.
