QUOTE
“I don’t think I’ve ever been more proud of a young man from where he started to where he is now. And it’s all driven by his work ethic. Before practice, during practice, after practice, year-round – I don’t think he ever goes two days where he’s not in the gym.”
-Houston head coach Kelvin Sampson, to The Sporting News
