Russell Westbrook. Because he’s going to give you his all every night. 

Who is your biggest fan and why? 

Ma Dukes. Even if I don’t tell her to come to an event she is going to find out and find a way lol. And the rest of the family of course.

What are you looking forward to most this year?

I’m excited to see what the young guys on our team can do, like in 2019 we had a strong senior class but a strong support cast from the underclassmen as well. I have a feeling this year will be a lot like that one.. but with a PIAA ring. #ChainGang
