PH: For those who haven’t seen you play, how would you describe your overall game?”

PH: What’s the most improved part of your game?
QM: “Definitely my jump shot. I don’t like shooting a lot of threes. I’m more of a mid-range shooter.”
PH: What’s the most underrated part of your game?
QM: “Definitely my defense. Despite my height, I’m quick on my feet. Once my opponents step in front of me, they find that out fast.”
PH: What do you need to work on?
QM: “Definitely expanding my game. Scoring from all three levels on a consistent basis. If I can do that, I will become a more dangerous player.”
PH: How are your grades?

PH: What do you think you can bring to a college program?
QM: “I’m just a versatile player. I don’t need to score to be effective. I’m not a guy that has to put up 30 a night to make noise on the court.”
