Starting out in new surroundings is becoming something of a regular occurrence for Lennox Garnett, but it doesn't faze him too much. "I moved to a new country at age ten, then I've had to re-adjust to something new every few years since. This is no big deal." He says. "Everywhere I've been, everywhere I go, I just get my head down and do what I do. Let my work speak for itself."
Arriving in Kansas City, Garnett prepares for his first foray into professional ball, where he is acutely aware that his athletic ability will not be enough by itself. "I'm pretty sure I'm the fastest guy on the roster, but speed doesn't matter so much at this level if you can't get in the right positions." He explained. "So I'm talking to the guys, the coaches, trying to absorb as much as possible. Spending extra time after practice, making sure I have the best equipment, anything that can give me an edge."
Garnett's first game in purple and gold was a heavy defeat at the hands of the Tijuana Luchadores, and a rude awakening for the college standout. "It really drove it home for me that this is an entirely different level to what I've been playing so far." He said. "But they selected me sixth overall so they must believe I have what it takes. Now I have to prove them right."
