Per NBC Sports, Donte had this to say about his draft revel in total: "It's kind of a unique, because I got traded two different times ... But the first time, it was kind of unexpected. I thought once we traded for Jrue Holiday, I thought everything was done. So I was kind of blindsided by that one."
However, Donte tried to look the silver lining in his drafting experience by being there for his teammates experiencing identical drafting/buying and selling nervousness.
He mentioned in the similar report, "So to just tell these young guys, 'Listen, don't worry about anything. You get a call, you get a call. But don't let it mess with your process getting ready before the game and performing on the court.' At the end of the day, what you can control is what you do in those 48 minutes." Spoken like a true pro!
