Hopefully someone let's him know the final day to remove your name from the draft is May 25th and not May 27th lol

Sounds like he's coming back. Said "when" I return to Indiana, not "if."

This new rule is great for players but terrible for fans!!!

Why didnt they ask him about his plans to add a defense to his game

Maybe the interviewer enjoyed the opportunity to interview him?

His comment on being a leader next season was the most interesting to me because I don't think he's ever been a leader.  He was a scorer in high school but just scoring points doesn't make him a leader.  His court demeanor in high school (and I saw many of his games) and college has never been what I consider as leadership.  I don't think it's in his DNA to get in someone's face in the huddle, function as an on-court coach or get into practice time scrapes.  I think he's had a 'me first' attitude for a very long time.  My personal opinion and I would very much like to have to admit I was badly mistaken come next March.

I also found it interesting how he said he thought he made major improvements in his game and he thought the team was playing well. Even though his defense was still atrocious and our only decent win was against ND.

Leadership doesn't have to necessarily be all these traits you described. It can simply be showing up to practice early, putting work in, staying late, giving advice or answering questions, taking a freshmen out for dinner, etc.
