So far I love Orlando; it seems like a great city; I'm looking forward to playing here. I'd probably be waking up every morning at about 7am if I was back at Duke.

For college players, this time of year is very important because they can work directly with the coaches prior to the start of official practice, so it's very important that they get in a lot of gym time and equally as important that they condition themselves.

If there's anything I've kind of missed about Durham, it's my friends that are still in college and the Q Shack—it's a bar-b-q restaurant; it's my favorite spot.

The NBA and NBA Players Association organize a program in September for 5 days for all the rookies to come. We learn about finances, off the court stuff on the court stuff. Overall it went really well.

Training camp starts next Tuesday on October 3rd. It's in Jacksonville, Florida, to kind of get away, isolate the group. I don't really know what to expect because it's my first camp, but I know it's going to be tough, and it's going to be an interesting six days.

My back is doing great. I've really gotten it stronger just in the past month and a half, and I'm back to playing 5-on-5 and working out and it feels great.

I've definitely been playing NHL 2K7. It's a great game. I think it's a good improvement on NHL 2K6, which was a game that I love. I'm still playing Halo a little bit. And NBA 2K7 I just got—love the game, and hopefully the college game will be just as good.
