Q: Who is your favorite
basketball player?
A: Ant [Anthony Edwards],
come on.
Q: What is your
favorite food?
A: Mexican food. I usually go out to Plaza [Garibaldi] a lot. The one in Redwood Falls.
Q: What is your favorite band/musical artist?
A: I’d probably say
Destroy Lonely.
Q: What is your favorite road gym to play basketball in?
A: I’ve always liked Sleepy Eye’s gym. I don’t know what it is about it, I don’t know if it’s just because the crowd is right there, but I would have to say Sleepy Eye’s gym and I’ve always had good games there.
Q: What is the most memorable moment of your basketball
career so far?
A: I’d probably say the assist record because last year [coach] Brian [Pendleton] challenged me to get more assists and I’ve kind of went beyond that goal. … That’s just a big record for me because not only do I get to share the love and everything, I’m sharing the ball very efficiently. I love getting assists and I love getting my teammates the ball and letting them score.
