The part of my game I tried to improve was ...
I tried to improve on all aspects of my game. I consider myself a versatile player, so it's important to focus on improving my overall game. I worked on improving my body strength, quickness & agility, adding new offensive moves to my game, as well as increasing my defensive ability. I wanted to come into training camp in the best shape.

My favorite place I visited was ...
As usual, the Dominican Republic. I also spent some time in Puerto Rico, during the FIBA Americas Tournament. I like PR as well, but nothing compares to DR. I LOVE IT! I especially love the fact that this past summer, I went out to Dominican Republic in an effort to continue my community efforts with the "Tenis Para Ninos" shoe donation program. Our goal was to donate 20,000 pairs of Crocs shoes, and we managed to do so. Thanks to the help of some of our partners like Crocs & Feed The Children. It was an incredible experience to witness the smiles on these kids' faces.

The Detroit Pistons will get past the first round of the playoffs, unlike last year.

The part of my game I tried to improve was ...
I try and work on all aspects of my game during the summer to be a more complete player, but I know I focused the most on my jumper. I really wanted to continue to work on extending my range and becoming a really good shooter.

My most difficult workout this summer was ...
It's always hard to start back up after taking time off, so those first few workouts were the worst. Took me a few days to get my legs back and work through the soreness.

The meal I ate most often after a workout was ...
Shrimp scampi and cheesecake -- I love that meal -- and always great to eat that after a long day of working out on the court and in the weight room.

My favorite (or least favorite) news story of the summer was ...
My least favorite news story had to be the passing of Michael Jackson. I am such a fan of his music, so was very sad to see him go.

My favorite place I visited was...
I went on a cruise to Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas, both amazing places and it felt great to relax for awhile and get away.

The biggest NBA transaction (trade or FA signing) of the summer was...
Obviously Shaq going to Cleveland was huge, but I think Artest to the Lakers is a really big story as well. With the Lakers coming off a championship, it's not very often you see a team like that get a player like Artest out of free agency. I think he is going to make a big impact on their team and in the Western Conference.

Besides my new teammate(s), the one rookie I am going to keep my eye on is ...
Outside of the rookies on our team, its gotta be Jonny Flynn. I've always been a fan of his, and he is a former Syracuse player like myself, so I always try and follow those guys as much as I can.

The one thing you don't know about our team is ...
It's no secret we've got a lot of new players and a good mix of talent. I think our team will really challenge each other to continue to get better in practice, and surprise a lot of people with our uptempo style of play ... and how hard we work.

The one thing I am most looking forward to for NBA Tip-Off 09 is ...
When I signed with Milwaukee, I knew I was going to look forward to playing in the Eastern Conference because I love different cities on the East coast. I'm close to my hometown of Philly, so it will be nice to have my friends and family a little closer too.
