Dwayne Jones Quotations

He said he would put in a good word for me.

I saw that we lost the first game after I left. I try to keep in contact with those guys. Some of my coaches and Bracey (Wright) are going to come to the Miami game, so I'm looking forward to seeing them again.

I see a lot of other guys who haven't played at all, just practicing and sitting on the bench during games. Getting that experience down there made me a better player. Of course, everybody wants to be up here in the NBA, but you have to look hard at your future. That will help me in the long run.

I think I've opened a lot of eyes.

I think our team has a lot of good scorers, so I'm not going to try to come off the bench and score 20 points.

I think it's one of the most intact of O'Neil Ford's houses remaining in Dallas. John has been very protective of this home. Many others would have torn it down to rebuild on such a desirable site.

I understand there may be some problems with the process, but I think they need to correct the process before they actually consider removing a candidate.

I had to fight my own teammates to get them.

If you thought you were going good, you might look at the phone. You get 20 points and 10 rebounds, or 15 points and 10 assists, you expect the phone to ring and an NBA team to say they need you immediately.

It just kind of threw me off a bit, playing down here. I just didn't get into the game.

It was definitely a good experience, getting a NBA type coach and being able to play 30 minutes a game. Going from college basketball I wasn't too accustomed to the style of play in the NBA, so being there helped me out a lot.

I came in here trying to make enough of an impression to get picked in the first round. That's been my goal all along.
