Bryce McGowens

Q. What has this day been like for and you how does it feel like to have your dream come true?

BRYCE McGOWENS: This day has been amazing, getting a chance to be here, celebrate this with my family. This was my dream since I can remember. So just being able to be here and get drafted, it means everything to me. I thank God.

Q. You're going to a Minnesota team that just made the playoffs and you're going to team up with stars like Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns. How excited are you to play with those guys and is there anybody else you're really looking forward to get to go work with?

BRYCE McGOWENS: Yes, that's a great group of guys in Minnesota. So having the opportunity to go against them every day, learn and just compete against them is going to be major for me.

Q. What's the No. 1 thing that you're going to be able to bring to the team right away to help them win?

BRYCE McGOWENS: Just a scoring spark, me being able to score at all three levels. Bringing in early leadership and just a competitive spirit.

Q. Are you going to use the fact that you fell to the second rounds as a source of inspiration? A lot of guys often do. Is that something you're going to do?

BRYCE McGOWENS: Most definitely.
