    Rob Dillingham- What were your honest thoughts when you found out that you were traded to Timberwolves immediately after getting drafted by Spurs. You were pretty vocal about wanting to play with Wemby. Were you disappointed?

    Stephon Castle- Are you kind of disappointed after missing rest of summer league due to wrist injury? Also, what are your reaction to Spurs getting CP3.

    Donovan Clingan- With Portland having 2 big men in Ayton and Rob Will? How many minutes are you realistically expecting to play each night?

    Matas Buzelis- Almost every mock had you going 5th to Detroit, were pleasantly surprised when you fell down to 11th to the Bulls? Did you see the mocks and were like damn I am going to Detroit?

    Ron Holland II- Almost similar question as above, were surprised when you got selected 5th overall by the Pistons?

    Jared McCain- What happens to your tiktok account now? Will you still be devoting as much time as you used to or it no longer is any of your priorities.

    Alex Sarr- Why did you refuse to workout with Hawks?

    Bronny - Why did you decide to do this to yourself? I wish you all the best but I’m sure you just as everybody else knew where this was going. You’ve taken an impossible path & I can only imagine what kind of pressure you’ve put on yourself ( I sure hope it’s mostly yourself ).
