SportsEdTV: Thank you for joining me. My name is Jaki. I'm the basketball and content manager for SportsEdTV. Why don't you just start off and tell us a little bit about yourself… and obviously congratulations on being drafted?
Jaden Springer: Thank you. I’m Jaden Springer, I grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, and started playing basketball around eight, and then it really just took off and it just kept working every day to get to this point I'm at now.
SportsEdTV: So I guess the first thing I wanted to talk to you about is just a quick Recap of Summer League now that you've had a few weeks to let it sit and you can reflect on it, what was that experience like and walk us through like the day to day in that atmosphere?
