柯內特在2026年10月16日的馬刺記者會上被記者問到:球隊新推出的活動由隊友 David Jones Garcia 用西班牙文擔綱,他是否準備好用西班牙文當第二號人物。
柯內特坦言「他講得比我好太多了。第二名大概會是巴恩斯。老實說,我覺得巴恩斯大概也比我強。絕對比我強。」
英文原句:「Honestly, I think Harrison is probably better than I am.」
他還說「也許我們去歐洲的時候,我就順便跑去西班牙,或是南下墨西哥城之類的,好好泡在那個環境裡吸收一下。」

「我是可以再去惡補一下啦。問題是,他講得比我好太多了。第二名大概會是巴恩斯。老實說,我覺得巴恩斯大概也比我強。絕對比我強。我回去翻翻課本,再回覆你。……也許我們去歐洲的時候,我就順便跑去西班牙,或是南下墨西哥城之類的,好好泡在那個環境裡吸收一下。」
"Uh, you know, I could try to brush up. And the thing is, he's much better than I am. Harrison Barnes would probably be number two. Honestly, I think Harrison is probably better than I am. Definitely better than I am. Uh, I'll consult my textbooks and I'll get back to you. ... maybe when we go to Europe, I'll just hop over to Spain or I'll dip down to Mexico City or something and try to soak it in."
