DukeBlogger: Thanks for the time TJ, what do you think is the strongest part of your game ?

TJ: My versatility and my ability to drive and knock down the 3 consistently.

DukeBlogger: Are there areas that you think need improvement in ?

TJ: I need to keep developing my wings skills and ball handling and getting stronger.

DukeBlogger:  Clearly you have really strong perimeter skills for a big man, is that something you focused on to make you more versatile?

TJ: Yes I focus on perimeter skills a lot!

DukeBlogger: Have the coaches recruiting you given you any good advice on your development?

TJ: Not yet but they just say to keep building my perimeter skills and rebounding.

DukeBlogger:  Were you surprised at the Duke offer?

TJ: Yes and no. I mean any time Duke offers it’s a big deal so I was excited but I expected it if I played good enough.

DukeBlogger:  Thank you so much for your time man, good luck man, going to love watching you play be it at Duke or wherever man, keep it up.

TJ: Thanks.
