I can get a bucket down low when I need to."</p> <p><strong>PH</strong>: <em>Why do you play so hard? What's that all about?</em></p> <p><strong>DP</strong>: "Not everybody wants to play hard. They wanna shoot threes and do all the pretty stuff, but I kinda like to do the nitty gritty stuff. Keep my team in possession."</p> <p><strong>PH</strong>: <em>What do you think you need to work on?</em></p> <p><strong>DP</strong>: "I need to get stronger. Getting in the weight room this summer will be big. And then I've gotta work more on being able to handle the ball."</p> <p><strong>PH</strong>: <em>How are your grades?</em></p> <p><strong>DP</strong>: "All A's. 4.275 GPA."</p> <p><strong>PH</strong>: <em>Who's recruiting you right now?</em></p> <p><strong>DP</strong>: "I've had coaches from CNU, Hood, Marymount, Washington &amp; Lee all text me recently."</p> <p><strong>PH</strong>: <em>What are your goals?</em></p> <p><strong>DP</strong>: "I just want to get to the next level, be successful, and get a good career as I get older."</p> <p><strong>PH</strong>: <em>What do you hope to bring to a college program?</em></p> <p><strong>DP</strong>: "I can definitely bring rebounding. I can also stretch the floor a bit and knock down threes."</p>
