Thanks Trey for talking to germanhoops.com. You’re a rookie playing in England for the Bristol Flyers. What kind of an experience has it been playing for this organization? What have you enjoyed most about it so far?

It’s been great. Coach has been very opening & understanding that we are from from home & this is kind of a culture shock. He has been honest about everything & pushes us and wants to not only be better on the court but off the court.

What has been the biggest adjust on and off the court? Not everything is the same culture wise and fiba rules are also different?

My adjustment has been more off the court. Like driving in the left side of the road over the right.

You must feel right at home on the team with all the Americans on the team. Has it felt like an NCAA reunion?

Yea it not much different from playing in America with how many Americans that we have.

You played 2 seasons at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi (NCAA) averaging 12.1ppg, 1.6rpg, 1.3apg, FGP: 43.0%, 3PT: 36.0%, FT: 82.4% and 15.7ppg, 2.3rpg, 1.2apg, FGP: 48.9%, 3PT: 40.2%, FT: 89.0%. You won 2 Southland Conference titles. Which one was sweeter?

The second one felt a lot better.

You played at 2 NCAA tournaments and the school has only 3 in their history. You played 2 great games against Texas Southern and then #1 school Alabama with 16 and 20 points. What memories do you have of March madness?

I remember all of it. The best part of it was at the watch parties finding out who you’re going to play. You share this experience with the whole school who comes and watches it with the team.

You then added an extra season at Texas Christian University (NCAA) playing 34 games averaging 8.4ppg, 2.2rpg, 1.8apg, FGP: 41.4%, 3PT: 41.9%, FT: 85.3%. You had some big games against big time schools like Kansas, Texas tech and Georgetown and reached a third NCAA tournament. You played with the sons of Jameer Nelson and Charles O Bannon who all were NBA players. How competitive were Nelson and O´Bannon. Both went pro with one playing NBA Summer League and the other playing in Slovakia. What kind of a bond could you make after only 1 season?

A brother hood bond that started from day 1 that is still very strong to this day. We still talked weekly & watch each others games.

How did head coach Jamie Dixon give you that added touch in helping groom and prepare you for a professional career?

He believed in me enough to show that I’m more than just a shooter & scorer. He allowed me to show I can do more than that in front of the whole world.

Who won a 1-1 in practice you or Jameer Nelson?

Me

What is your personal NBA Mount Rushmore?

Kobe Lebron MJ & Tim Duncan.

Who is your GOAT?

Kobe Bryant
