Q: Last season you were mainly a sixth man, what was the toughest thing about starting?
A: It was not that tough, but I like the sixth man last year and it was not bad because I played starter minutes so I got my time to shine.
Q: When did you get into the game of basketball?
A: Since I was like six. I was actually just looking at a picture of me on my laptop and I was in a picture holding a ball in a portrait, so real young.
Q: Do you have any nicknames?
A: AG is one of mine and that comes from Anthony Grant. TJ is another one because my dad’s name is Tony and I am a junior.
Q: Who is one NBA player you would love to meet?

Q: When I say the greatest ever to play in the NBA, who comes to mind?
A: Kobe Bryant.
Q: If you had to put a five person team together composed of current and former NBA players, who would they be including yourself?
A: I would play the point guard, I would put Jordan at the shooting guard position, I would put LeBron at the three, at the four would be Tim Duncan and at the five I would say Shaq in his prime. I would have Kobe coming off the bench.
Q: Who are your role models?
A: My role model would be my grandma. She’s always been there for me when things were not right at home, I could always go to her. She was like a second mother to me.

A: My dream car would be a Lamborghini with AG on the side of the doors. It is going to be all black with black rims. The interior is going to be called the Dark Knight.
Q: Would you rather be rich or famous?
A: I would rather be famous because I see myself at the BET Awards and the MTV Awards being like a rock star and thanking my fans and telling them I love them. Roll out the red carpet for me and give me a crown or something like that.
