Favourite film of all time?

Deadpool.

What tv show are you binging at the moment?

I am binging Shameless at the moment. The American one.

Favourite basketballer of all time?

Probably Kobe Bryant. Kobe would be my favourite.

Lebron James or Michael Jordan?

MJ.

On the court what do you think is your best attribute?

I'd probably say I've got a pretty good IQ. I know where to be.

What position do you play?

We don't really have positions on our team this year because we are all fairly short. So it's pretty much get where you're put and play you're hardest pretty much.

Funniest teammate?

I'd probably say Faith McKenzie.

What do you love about playing basketball?

I love the environment. I grew up playing team sports my whole life and basketball is the best environment, everyone comes down to watch. I played footy and it's not as big a thing but then you come home and there's a whole crowd of people at the basketball. Everyone gets around you no matter what.

The first home crowd is going to be so big, I'm so excited.

Favourite Hornet of all time and why?

I'd probably go Tim Pickert. He's just a good role model, always has been. He's played 300 games, he's just grown up here. Everyone's grown up idolising him.

Favourite comfort food?

Pasta, always go pasta. Carbonara. If not, KFC double tender combo.

Who would win in a fight, a rat or a crab?

A crab.
