Its on. Recap: Being mentioned as 2rd pick is a slight knock on him.[Motivates him] AZ's coaching changes was tough, had to adapt to new coach each year. Feels like it made him a better player and may help him in the NBA[FA, trades, coaching changes,etc]. Feels he can adapt to any coach Official way to pronounce name - Budinger: as in Grrr [Bud-in-grr] Not familiar with RA's system but is learning. Feel he fits in the system. [Running the floor, playmaking, shooting] A lot of unknowns team wise but trying to make the team Feels running the floor is his main strength, along with playmaking and shooting. 3pt shot another learning curve for him NBA wise with it being further back. Has heard we want to get out and run this season. Was a Laker fan growing up and rooting for them though hates them now and even more motivated to beat them. 2 players who caught his eye in SL: Joey Dorsey, thinks he can be helpful to the team and Anthony Randolph from outside the Rockets.
Hah yeah. Rich and Matt asked is it safe to say you were a Lakers fan growing up? "Umm..yeah. Well my Dad lived in LA and rooted for them so I did too." Then they asked him can you hate them now? Yeah I can hate them now. Im even more motivated to beat them now. Something alone those lines but you get the idea.
