Q. Can I get you to say and spell your name and gamer tag?
DHWAN WHITE: My name is Dhwan White, D-h-w-a-n W-h-i-t-e, and my gamer tag is Shifty Kaii, S-h-i-f-t-y K-a-i-i.
Q. You're part of a pretty deep draft pool of point guards. It was kind of up in the air right up until the draft where everyone was going to go. Was Gen.G one of the teams you were expecting to go to?
DHWAN WHITE: Honestly, not really. I thought they weren't going to take me. I was really surprised when they picked me. But the draft is full of surprises, honestly.
Q. What do you think about playing for the first international expansion team?
DHWAN WHITE: Should be fun. It's a new experience. Should be fun.
Q. Outside of the expansion draft, you are making history by being the first-ever regular season draft pick by Gen.G. How does that make you feel?
DHWAN WHITE: It's an honor, obviously, for them to pick me, the first pick ever. It's just an honor.
Q. They only have one player on the roster, TurnUpDefense. How do you think you'll mesh with him on the court?
DHWAN WHITE: I think of myself as a really good defensive player and he's a good defensive player, he was a lock for Timberwolves Gaming last year. He played really good defense, and I think we'll fit pretty well.
Q. What about off the court? What kind of a person is Gen.G getting?
DHWAN WHITE: They're getting -- I like to have fun. I'm a leader. They're getting the whole package basically.
Q. What went through your mind when your name was called?
DHWAN WHITE: I was honestly shocked. I was surprised and shocked that they took me. I did not expect to go here.
Q. Were you expecting to go later?
DHWAN WHITE: Yeah, obviously.
Q. Who are you looking forward to playing against?
DHWAN WHITE: Probably either the Warriors or the Heat because I used to play with KMT in pro-am, and two of my teammates -- a lot of my teammates are on both those teams, so it'll be fun to go against him.
