虎扑10月27日讯 美媒NBACentral转载了Clutchpoints对八村垒的报道： 表示自己有能力成为球队的第一进攻选择，并承认上赛季在湖人队很难拿到球 “我觉得身边的人都清楚这一点。他们总是说一直在关注我。即使是去年，当奥斯汀、勒布朗和卢卡这三名球员同时在场时，我很难拿到球，但只要有一两个球员缺阵，我总能挺身而出。 我当时也是球队头号得分手，所以无论球队需要什么，我总能挺身而出。我一直证明着自己随时准备好承担起那个角色。” （“I feel like the people around me know. They always say that they're always watching me. Even last year, when those three guys played, Austin, LeBron, Luka, it's tough to get the ball, but when one guy or two guys are out, I always show up. I was the number one scorer too, so I always showed up, whatever they need. I always proved that I'm always ready to be in that position.”）
