I read that your first thought that you could really make the leap to the NBA was when you played Duke and had 11 points, 10 rebounds, four blocks. In terms of your mindset, what changed? Did a switch turn on in your brain? Yves Missi: So that’s actually the first time my parents actually saw me play in person. So they came to that game, and obviously, we had a good game, but we lost the game. But after that, I just felt like if you play one of the best in the country, anything really is possible. If I can compete against this type of player, I probably can try and take a chance to declare for the draft and see what happens. You know, you miss 100 percent of the shots you’re not taking, so just go for it and see what happens.

When you look at where you were in college to now your rookie year in the NBA, what are the biggest things you would say you improved basketball-wise? Yves Missi: I would say my playmaking ability got better. In college, I wasn’t someone who was able to create for others, and I feel like now in the NBA –since the beginning of the season – I think I average 1.5 or two assists. So just trying to get better at it. Obviously, my rebounding also got better, and my scoring ability. Really just trying to be more versatile and trying to help my teammates. And my defense also got a little better as well.

Does he give you advice or does he really just troll you? Yves Missi: Yeah, sometimes. Whenever, after the game I talk to him, he just gave me some advice about basketball, how the league works, and how to just establish myself, how to play, and obviously how to impact winning.
