NBA 2K LEAGUE DRAFT


April 4, 2018


Aaron Rookwood


New York, New York

Aaron Rookwood was selected by Bucks Gaming with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2018 NBA 2K League Draft. His gamer tag is DRAKE GRIFFIN.

Q. State your name and who you play for.
AARON ROOKWOOD: My name is Aaron Rookwood, and I play for Bucks Gaming.

Q. What propelled you from going casual into competitive?
AARON ROOKWOOD: What propelled me from going to casual to competitive was just that I'm a competitive person, so I wanted to play against the best and just measure myself up against the best.

Q. What's your go-to team in 2K?
AARON ROOKWOOD: Oh, my go-to -- well, Cleveland. (Laughing.)

Q. What's it like to be a part of a real NBA franchise?
AARON ROOKWOOD: It's surreal. It's something I wanted to do always when I was younger and unfortunately I couldn't get it as the basketball player, but now I am some part -- in some way I am part of the NBA now, and it's just still surreal.

Q. What's your favorite game other than 2K?
AARON ROOKWOOD: Madden.

Q. You good at that, too?
AARON ROOKWOOD: Yeah, I'm good at that.

Q. You this good at Madden?
AARON ROOKWOOD: Not this good, but I'm good.

Q. What was going through your head when you heard your name getting called?
AARON ROOKWOOD: What was going through my head? I knew my name was going to get called; just didn't know when. It's still surreal -- just going from where I grew up at just on this big stage now. Just definitely a surreal moment.

Q. Talk about the process, this whole experience. What has this felt like?
AARON ROOKWOOD: The process was definitely a grind. It was fun moments. It was worrying moments about making it to this point. Doubting yourself.

It was definitely a whole lot of mixed emotions, but it finally paid off just from playing, perfecting my craft, then to the combine playing in a whole new environment, playing with people I never played with before, and just being able to have a successful combine to put me in this position today.
