R.J. Hampton took time Friday to do a phone interview with The Dallas Morning News.

Q: Do you have any sense of where you will be selected in the draft, and is there one team that you would love to get drafted by?

A: I’ve never really thought about a dream team to play for. Just going to the NBA is a dream in itself. I think no one really knows [where they will get drafted]. It’s not like a set-in-stone draft.

Q: What would it be like to play for your hometown team, the Mavericks?

A: It would be pretty cool, I can’t lie. The Mavericks are a good basketball club. Growing up watching the Mavericks, I saw them win the championship.

Q: Is there a certain NBA player you would like to play with or against?

A: Any teammates I get I would be happy with. I would love to play against LeBron [James]. He’s the best player in the league. I don’t think you can even describe that makes LeBron good. He’s just good at everything.
