The following year, after I had prepared my draft, the Conference of the Interparliamentary Union at The Hague decided to set up a special commission to study the problem seriously.
We knew the 2017-18 offseason would be one of our most challenging. We've known that for a long time.
One of the reasons why I had such a horrible draft is that I hosted an eight-hour pool party before the draft. and so I wasn't quite in my perfect drafting form.
I think the biggest thing, even from Day 1 after the draft, was coach DeFillipo being very detailed with everything.
When it comes to the draft process, I'm going to be - I'm not going to say anything stupid - but I'm going to be my authentic, true self, and hopefully someone in an organization says, 'That's my guy.'
The only predraft talk I listen to is the coaches and the GMs.
I'm not really too focused on where I get drafted. It's what I do after I get drafted.
I didn't care about the draft. I didn't want to do the workouts - they put you in two-on-two full-court drills with guards. That's not going to help me.
I have worked out with the Thunder, Lakers, Knicks, Grizzlies, Spurs, and a few others before the draft. I have worked out primarily against shorter and supposedly faster players in these workouts.
I see myself as the No. 1 player in the draft, but it is what it is. You can just take it day-by-day, put in the work, and the draft is going to be the outcome of whatever the draft is.
I didn't think I was going to be drafted, to be honest. I'm so serious. I mean, wholeheartedly, too. I don't know. I didn't realize it, probably, until about a week and a half, two weeks before the Draft.
From watching the draft and following the NFL closely, anything can happen in the draft. But to me, it's not where I get drafted that matters to me, to be completely honest.
I was fortunate enough to do a docu-series throughout the draft process, but I did that to show the behind-the-scenes stuff.
To be honest, after the draft, I'm always excited.
There is a lot of information to know, but I prepare for the NFL Draft by coming to work every day.
The benefit of this kind of outlining is that you discover a story's flaws before you invest a lot of time writing the first draft, and it's almost impossible to get stuck at a difficult chapter, because you've already done the work to push through those kinds of blocks.
