Milwaukee Bucks: Exit Interviews Wrap-Up
By Adam McGee
…on seizing his opportunity:
"Just being out there gives you experience. Knowing what I can do, kind of figuring out my game, I think just having the confidence to take more of a leadership role with the second unit, like I did in the second half of the season and then going to training camp just looking to continue that and continue taking steps forward."
…on adjusting to the defensive scheme:
"I feel very comfortable. I think last year was tough coming in, not to make excuses, but as a rookie and to learn a complicated defensive scheme from where I was [in Phoenix]. But I think being out with my shoulder injury really helped me, you know, sitting out on the sidelines so that when I came back I kind of knew it inside out."
…on working with Steve Nash with the Canadian team:
"He’s doing a good job at kind of being a mentor to all of us. Giving us his number, telling us to reach out whenever we want. You know, good games, bad games, he hits me up. So I think getting to be around both coach Kidd and Nash is something not a lot of point guards get to do, so I’m just soaking it in."
