Wayne was less than complimentary this week when talking to his hometown paper, The Chicago Tribune, about his time playing for Louisville and Coach Pitino.

“I sacrificed my game a lot at Louisville for team success. I tried to fit in too much. I really couldn’t show what I could do. I don’t regret it. I won a national championship. Played in two Final Fours and scored more than 1,000 points in my career. But I wasn’t myself.”

“Going through everything I did at Louisville made me a stronger person. Playing for coach Pitino … it was tough. He wants to get the best out of you. He pushed me to new heights and made me a tougher person. But I believe I should have had more opportunities to show what I could do. I had to become a spot-up shooter in college — that’s not me. I learned to keep my mouth shut and keep moving forward.”
