Quotes by Justin Gray

“I think (the fans) are going to talk about it all the time just because they know probably what we couldve done with the team from last year. But thats last year.”

“Over the summer I had a lot of work with the USA Team and a couple of camps and got a lot of point- guard work,”

“Game by game youll see something that I get better at every game. At least, thats my goal.”

“Were a good team, ... But were showing signs of becoming a great team by winning games like these.”

“I said, Coach, Im ready for the job, ... I was like, If you want to bring in somebody to back me up, thats cool. But if not, Ill play 40.”

“Im going to give you the ball, and you give it back to me in good shape when the game is over.”

“If I can drive in there and get two people on me, theres no need to shoot it. Somebody else is open. When I was a shooting guard, I had to be more offensive-minded. Now Im getting back into the pass-first deal, and thats comfortable for me.”

“I would most definitely come back and play again. Its a blessing and an opportunity just to have the chance to try out. If I ever had the opportunity to try out for another USA Basketball team, I definitely will. Win or lose, you can always make it into a positive experience. Its what you make it. Even though we had that loss, we bounced back to get the final two wins. Everybody stepped up and played well in our final two games. Im proud of everybody and Im just thankful for the opportunity.”

“Its a new position for me, but as long as Im getting better every game. Im more focused on not scoring, but not turning the ball over. Im trying to make smart plays.”

“Leadership is what its all about. Its got to come from somewhere.”
