Congratulations on being named the Week 11 National Player of the Week, Daniel. How does this recognition feel for you?

Thank you! It's truly an honor, but I have to credit my teammates and coaches. We work as a team, and without their support, these performances wouldn't have been possible.

Let's dive into your Week 11 performances. In the game against Jacksonville, despite the close loss, you had an incredible stat line of 39 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, and 3 blocks. How did you approach that game?

Every game, I focus on preparation and staying locked in. My teammates and I work hard in practice, and we stick to our game plan. Personally, I try to bring energy and contribute in scoring, rebounding, and on the defensive end.

The second game of the week against Marist resulted in a convincing 99-63 win for your team. You posted another impressive stat line of 32 points, 11 rebounds, 3 steals, and 1 block. How did it feel to secure such a comprehensive victory?

It felt great, especially after the tough loss to Jacksonville. We see every game as a learning opportunity. The win against Marist was a solid team effort, and we're looking to build on that momentum as we move forward in the season.

With such standout performances, how do you see these games shaping the trajectory of the team for the rest of the season?

Every game is a chance for us to learn and improve. The loss against Jacksonville was a tough one, but it motivates us to get better. The win against Marist was a collective effort, and we aim to carry that momentum into the upcoming games.

Looking ahead, what are your personal goals for the remainder of the season, and how do you see the team evolving as you move forward?

Personally, I want to continue contributing in all aspects of the game and help the team succeed. As a team, we're focused on growth and improvement. We're taking it one game at a time, learning from each experience, and working together to achieve our goals.
