Hey everyone! I had an awesome time in Vegas, LA, and Scottsdale. It was nice to take a little vacation. One of my best friends, Spencer Wadsworth, turned 21 earlier this month and we went out to Vegas to celebrate. His parents were also out there with us. It was my first time really getting to experience Vegas. We went to a show, ate some fantastic food, played Blackjack, and got some pool time. All in all, it was a great three days. Next, I went to LA (where my agent is located) and spent the majority of the week working out with Josh McRoberts, my good friend and former Duke teammate. His game looks sharp and I really believe he is going to be a great pro. A lot of people put too much stock into the NBA draft. In my opinion, all that really matters is that you get on a team and get to play. He’s going to be fine. After LA, I went to Scottsdale, AZ for the weekend to celebrate my buddy Matt Leinart’s birthday. It was a good time. I think there are some photos from that weekend floating around the Internet (haha). I got back to Orlando on Sunday the 20th. This week was the start of my workouts so I have spent the entire week in the gym. The summer has always been a crucial time in my development as a player and this summer is no different. Besides basketball workouts, I’ll be lifting, running on the track, doing Pilates, and taking boxing lessons. The Magic’s strength coach has set up a really good schedule for us. I’m going to lay low this Memorial Day weekend and spend some time with my brother. Hope everyone has a terrific weekend and enjoys having Monday off. I’ll be at the gym Monday, working on my game.
