You played your last NCAA game in 2007. How strange is it being a professional basketball rookie at age 26?

It is definitely a little strange being a 26 year old rookie but im happy that I have the opportunity to play. I had a commitment to the Air Force, served my time, and now I have an opportunity to chase a childhood dream.
