too or whatever you know how the league works um but you know uh dropped to NUMBER_TOKEN. so it's it was a shocker like for me but at the end of the day i knew at the start of my year my sophomore year at wake forest i wasn't on the draft radar at all so i knew that going leaving that building i was like job job done like from a nobody to a first round pick i can take that i can i can start there but i was definitely still like confused confused on my mind how was your adjustment process because i mean jj i were talking about this earlier but you were NUMBER_TOKEN and NUMBER_TOKEN by your second year in the league which is which is not common you know to be in that place yeah you know i never really felt like i i had an adjustment period when it comes to basketball in terms of learning right i know i had to learn the game and the game had to slow down all that all that good stuff but i always felt like you know i put the work in i trusted my work i was most of the time or NUMBER_TOKEN of the time i'm always in shape so i feel like that makes the game a lot easier to play and um you know i don't know i live sleep eat and breathe basketball so all the all the you know ups and downs and and challenges i'm ready for them or you know i feel like i'm prepared for it you know this is what i do this is all i know so i never like i said i never really had to a big adjustment more so off the court outside of the the facility was where i needed to adjust you know money family cars the girls you know whatever everything um all that stuff was more more so difficult for me in in the gym i want to go back to something you just said uh prior to tommy asking that question just to clarify for the listener and the viewer which is you mentioned not having a lock going into the draft and and what essentially that means is in general an agent will sort of uh suss out your your range for me it was NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN. um so i had going into draft night i had a lock at NUMBER_TOKEN. i knew utah if i dropped to NUMBER_TOKEN utah was going to take me the issue is if you're projected into range as john kind of said and we've talked to a number of guys recently who's had this happen to them if you miss your range uh there's teams that have already given locks to other guys and so sometimes it happens where you you drop uh way further that down than you than you should be um but NUMBER_TOKEN is it's commendable john it's commendable i mean it's it's nothing to it's just to frown upon something no again and that's and that's and that's how i felt coming in in terms of not have not being a five-star recruit not having a high major offer not you know being on a national stage um again going to wake forest and not playing my freshman year not being on the radar again at all for a whole another year coming back a year older being able to do what i did and still go NUMBER_TOKEN. i appreciated it but it was more so again being in it when i when
