I read that your first thought that you could really make the leap to the NBA was when you played Duke and had 11 points, 10 rebounds, four blocks. In terms of your mindset, what changed? Did a switch turn on in your brain? Yves Missi: So that’s actually the first time my parents actually saw me play in person. So they came to that game, and obviously, we had a good game, but we lost the game. But after that, I just felt like if you play one of the best in the country, anything really is possible. If I can compete against this type of player, I probably can try and take a chance to declare for the draft and see what happens. You know, you miss 100 percent of the shots you’re not taking, so just go for it and see what happens.
