How’d you get started<br />
in basketball?<br />
I started in the fourth<br />
grade, mostly because of my<br />
dad. He was big in to basketball<br />
and he started to coach<br />
me.<br />
Do you have any rituals<br />
or superstitions on the<br />
court?<br />
If I do good one game<br />
with a certain pair of socks<br />
I try to keep wearing those<br />
socks because I feel like<br />
it makes me do better.<br />
And I also chew gum during<br />
every game. I wash the<br />
socks.<br />
What’s your favorite<br />
memory playing<br />
basketball?<br />
Just that my dad got to<br />
coach me and got to be with<br />
me through all the practices<br />
and games.<br />
What would be the first<br />
thing you’d buy if you<br />
won the lottery?<br />
A pet elephant. I love elephants.<br />
[I’d name it] Delani,<br />
after my sister.<br />
Do you prefer to play<br />
offense or defense?<br />
Offense. I like to shoot<br />
3s and get it in to my teammates<br />
and make the plays<br />
happen.<br />
What’s your favorite<br />
movie?<br />
“The Notebook.”<br />
Who would be on your<br />
dream team?<br />
Steph Curry, my sister<br />
Delaney, Michael Jordan<br />
and my dad.<br />
If you could have dinner<br />
with anyone living or<br />
dead, who would it be<br />
and why?<br />
My mom because she’s<br />
a great cook and I just like<br />
spending time with her.<br />
Do you have any plans<br />
for college?<br />
Photo submitted<br />
I like North Central and<br />
Murray State because my<br />
grandpa went there. And University<br />
of Tennesse Martin. I<br />
want to be an opthamologist,<br />
so [I’d probably major in]<br />
pre-med and I want to major<br />
in chemistry… My dad is an<br />
eye doctor, so he could probably<br />
help me with some stuff.<br />
What advice do you<br />
have for the next<br />
generation of Knights<br />
basketball players?<br />
Try your best at all times.<br />
Never give up on yourself.<br />
And that quote: “You miss<br />
100 percent of the shots you<br />
don’t take.”<br />
