What do you want to do after you graduate and why?
Be an NBA player because that has been my dream since I was a young kid.
Why did you choose Michigan State?
I chose Michigan State because of the winning culture, the family atmosphere, and playing for a legend of a coach.
What would you tell someone who is coming to Michigan State to play basketball?
That you'll love everything about it, the coaches, your teammates, the facilities, the campus. Everything!
If you could play another position, what would you play and why?
Point guard, because I have a really good feel for the game, especially with the ball in my hand and passing is a lot more fun than people may think.
If you could play another sport, what would you play and why?
I would play golf, just because it's very easy on your body, but still makes you have mental toughness. I think golf is the hardest sport mentally there is.
Favorite form of social media?
Twitter because there's a video or post of everything on there.
Who is your favorite person to follow?
LeBron James, because he's the Goat.
If you could have dinner with any 3 people, dead or alive, who would they be and why?
Lebron, Tiger Woods, and MJ because I think I could learn some valuable advice from them just from a dinner.
Favorite sport to follow at Michigan State other than yours (or what sport are you excited to see?)
Football man I'm a big football fan. I can't wait for the season.
What song is on your headphones in the locker room right before taking the court?
Any song by Lil Baby gets me ready for the court.
What is your dream vacation?
Spain.
What's the best thing about getting to play Big Ten basketball?
Playing at the highest level of college basketball with a great fan base and great coaches.
What's the best way to describe Coach Izzo?
A tough-minded winner who cares for you.
One word to describe a Michigan State basketball player?
Tough.
Who would play you in a movie?
The Journey from Good to Great to Unstoppable. Starring Adam Sandler.
Tell us one thing people don't know about you?
I'm an avid golfer. Hopefully, that's what I'll be doing whenever I retire.
