Malcolm Brogdon
Brogdon on building on his rookie year:
"“I think you have to look at your rookie season, look at your past season, and really build on whatever mistakes you made. Whether it’s look at film, or think about the times you were really tired and at what points during the season, and be able to anticipate that and prevent it as much as possible. And then I think it’s just about going ahead and playing. I’ve worked really hard, harder than I ever have, this summer, on my body and on my skill-set, and it’s important for me to go out and play.”"
Brogdon on increasing his leadership:
"“I think it’s expected of me from Coach Kidd. I think my teammates expect it of me for me to have a voice, especially as a point guard on the floor. You have to have a voice, you have to be able to command people a little bit. You’ve got to be able to listen as well. But that’s an important role that I want to step into.”"
Brogdon on his focus coming into the season:
"“For me it’s always about…the one thing I can control is coming in in top shape. I feel like I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in. Whether that’s cutting a few pounds — I did that. I’m eating cleaner. It’s just important to take care of your body as much as possible going into training camp and going into the season.”"
Brogdon on working with Matthew Dellavedova:
"“The one thing I’ve learned from Delly is how to be a professional. Regardless of his circumstance, he continues to work hard. He continues to show up to work every day. He continues to compete, and be a great teammate. He’s one of the best teammates I’ve had, and he’s truly shown me how vets learn how to be professionals.”"
