Dec 12 interview in Daytona Beach News Journal - I took the liberty to condense the quarter page interview to only pertinent points.
Q: You've been around the NBA, what's the toughest part being traded in mid-season?
M: Getting settled in one place. Moving to a new location. We've been living in a motel in Orlando. Joining a team that has a lot of momentum and trying not to destroy the chemistry, while at the same time trying to help them.
Q: Not being drafted out of college, would you say you appreciate being in the NBA more than, say, a lottery pick?
M: Yes. I left Wichita State early, and I was projected to go between 15 and 25 in the first round. It wasn't a miscalculation, it was just, for whatever reason, I didn't get drafted. And I wasn't bitter about it because I knew my talents would shine through, which they did. This is my seventh year as a pro, and it's a blessing.
