QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Donte DiVincenzo: “I am so eager to just get on the court and play…two different types of feelings…super-excited for guys like JK, Wise and Moses to get their rings. And Wiggs.” (me)
• On Wiggins: “Their confidence is gonna be at an all-time high. When you’re at the top everyone’s gonna try to bring you down…challenge of doing it again, night in and night out…glad he’s on my team now.” (me)
• On winning championships at Villanova: “Same thing happened to me in college (hurt). That was the fuel to my fire…there’s a lot of Hall of Fame players that never won a ring…just to add to this team. They already have the blueprint…help where they need to be helped.” (me)
• On Elena Del Donne: “I’m Delaware there’s not many high-level basketball players…yes you are, but you’re not here…Gus Johnson…Best from Delaware…definitely (Del Donne)…huge fan…she’s an amazing person.” (me)
• On what the nicknames are for him, such as “the Michael Jordan of Delaware” (rejected) and “Big Ragu”, according to reporter Kerith Burke: “White Donte?…Te, D, DD, DiVo…a lot…my mom calls me Donte and when I’m in trouble, Donte Michael.” (me, Marcus Thompson)
• On his contract: “Seeing Jordan and Wiggs signing their extensions, that’s motivation…not the focus for me…my goal is to be a factor in the playoffs on a winning team. That’s what my focus is right now and everything else will take care of itself.” (me)
• On the culture and having Poole and Wiggins locked up: “Feels like I’ve been here a year…makes it feel like you’re part of the family instantly.” (me)
• On the Warriors system: “The one thing that stands out to me…constant movement…Loon will go from one side of the court to the other…four screens…that’s the type of basketball I like to play…it’s fun and honestly it’s coming together, it’s still early…get him feeling good (Poole)…understanding of ‘alright you got it this time.’” (me)
