I think every part of my body needs improvement.
I think that's the only way I can improve: to work hard, to listen to my coaches. Not to question anything.
I want to get stronger. I want to get slimmer. I'm already slimmer, but I want to get some muscles so I can fight all these guys in the post.
I never doubted in me. I always knew what I can do. I always had the same skill-set.
I was taught to hate the Clippers, you know, since I was with the Lakers. So, I never liked the Clippers before. But since coming over here, it's been amazing.
A bunch of fans have come up to me and they say, 'Why did we trade you? The Lakers front office did the biggest mistake.' Everyone's like, 'We miss you.'
You know, I just feel physically that I can get a lot of offensive rebounds.
Everyone wants to play in the fourth quarter, everyone wants to close the game. It's the most important time of the game, so being out there is great.
One of my roles is rebounding the ball and not giving up offensive boards, and I feel like I can be one of the best in the league at that.
I am living a great life.
When you meet Croatians somewhere abroad that's great. It feels like you are best friends.
People got this bad image about Clippers, like Clippers did something bad. But the thing is, the Clippers never did something bad, they're just another team in L.A.
In my two and a half years with the Lakers, I didn't win much games.
I don't care about personal stats or whatever. Winning is the most important thing.
When I was like 19 1/2, people were like, 'He should go back to Europe.' People are impatient.
It's hard when you're a young player, second year, to not play for like 10 games and then they throw you in and they want you to do everything perfect.
My agent called me when we were talking before I came to the States. He told me we are going to select only three or four teams who are most interested, who are calling the most, asking for you, who are watching me the most in Europe and scouting me.
I think I want to come straight to the NBA, but if the team who drafts me, they want me to stay in Europe and develop my game, I will stay.
I have good mid-range shot and I can shoot threes, but in Europe coaches didn't want me to shoot outside because I was tall and big.
Here you get to play one on one more, individual basketball. I think that fits me better than in Europe. You have harder, different double teams and everybody helps, but in the NBA they let you play one on one, so I think that will fit me better.
We switched everything in G League so I had a lot of time to work on my switching.
The only thing I can do is work hard and hope that they're gonna call my name.
When you're not playing you're not feeling good because this is what I'm doing my whole life. Now when I'm finally in the rotation, everything else feels much better. Life is much better.
