Damon: Did you think you would be drafted this early?

SportsNation Thabo Sefolosha: (9:29 PM ET ) It was a surprise to me, especially going to Philly. I thought it would be somewhere around 15 but I really didn't know.

Clement (HK): What other area do you think you can improve to make youself a superstar?

SportsNation Thabo Sefolosha: (9:30 PM ET ) My shooting, and I also have to work on my body. Those are the two big ones.

HJ (Switzerland): How dou you feel being the first "swiss" guy in the nba? btw, we all are very proud over here!
