THEY SAID IT: Quoting Stephon Marbury: “After watching him the first week of camp, we knew we had a steal.". . .Quoting Trevor: “My biggest motivation is proving people wrong. I’ve always known what I could do. I’m not for making people look bad, but when there’s doubters it’s always special to surprise them. People kept saying that I wasn’t going to make it. They would say that I was going to end up playing overseas and whatnot. Some people flat out would come up to me and tell me that I was making a bad decision and that I was messing up my life. It feels good to know that I haven’t.”
