When my name was called during the draft, I was very surprised and excited for so many reasons. There were so many great players in this past draft class that there could've been so many different outcomes. After the first round, I don't think anybody could have really accurately predicted who was going to be picked when and where they would go to. I'm not going to lie; I was actually somewhat surprised to here my name being called as early as it was, #27, and by the team that drafted me, Portland Pythons. Up until the unofficial draft class TPE ranking was released, I didn't even realize how high up on the boards I possibly could be. So, I never really expected to go as early as I did, even though I really wanted to. Also, although the Pythons were one of the few teams to contact me prior to the draft, I honestly expected to go to one of the expansion teams, specifically the Solar Bears, because they showed their interest in me earlier than any other team. Overall, it was a very exciting day, and I can't wait to get to work and start playing for my team. I will try my hardest to be the best player I can be.
