- 3:28Speaker 2: Bro.
- 3:28Speaker 4: The first thing I'm gonna tell you is, and when
- 3:30Speaker 4: I tell anybody, being the first round pick is a
- 3:34Speaker 4: pressure of his own. But that pressure is a privilege.
- 3:36Speaker 4: And because you want a starter, it's even higher expectations,
- 3:39Speaker 4: higher media, hire outside noise, eliminate it. Remember this right,
- 3:45Speaker 4: They're not drafting you to be a player. They're drafting
- 3:47Speaker 4: you to be the player that you already are, to
- 3:49Speaker 4: come into that system and dominate. So you're not here
- 3:52Speaker 4: to be behind nobody. You're not here to say, yo,
- 3:55Speaker 4: I'm trying to learn from him, so and so. No,
- 3:57Speaker 4: you're here to start be the guy you are the guy.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Uh.
- 4:00Speaker 4: Like I said early in the draft, you don't wish
- 4:03Speaker 4: upon a star, you land on it. So good luck, brother,
- 4:06Speaker 4: You're gonna have a lot of fun in the city, bro.
- 4:10Speaker 4: And Yo, do me one favor. Do not let CD
