Lester Hudson: Makin' it to the Big Leagues

November 01, 2009

Right after the NBA Draft, I went up to Boston. I was working out, just trying to get into the best shape I could in the off-season…so I could be the best player I could be when the season came. It seems like it paid off, I’m in pretty good shape now.

When the season started, my mindset was mixed. I was nervous, but also very excited because it was my dream to make it to the NBA…I always wanted to play in this league! I was nervous because I’m on a great team, and I didn’t know how I’d play and adjust to new teammates.

But, it’s going really well, and everybody gets along. The coaching staff and players are great. They get on me if I make a mistake so I can adjust it…they are trying to make me a better player.

I know I can be a good player in this league – I just have to keep learning and stay focused…and go out and play hard every night.
