Coming off the bench or starting doesn't matter to me one bit. I just want to win.

Whether I'm starting or coming off the bench, I just want to be able to help and compete.
For me, being a starter doesn't matter. Of course, I'd like to be in at the end of the game, to be a big part of the team, and to play as many minutes as I can play. But starting and coming off the bench are two different challenges.
The advantage of not starting is you're sitting back, looking at the game and saying, 'OK, we need rebounding,' or 'We need hustle points.' Coming off the bench, that's what you try to do. The disadvantage of it is you gotta catch that flow. You're coming off the bench, you gotta come ready, warmed up already, catch the flow of the game.
I'm not worried about who's starting and who's coming off the bench.
I'm not happier because I'm starting on the Knicks. I could be starting, I could be coming off of the bench, and I'd be the same way.

Whether I'm starting or coming off the bench, bigs have to protect the rim and can't give nothing easy to nobody.
Starting you automatically gets into your rhythm faster. Coming off the bench, you're colder; it can be harder at times.
If it's coming off the bench or if it's starting, I will try to contribute what is best for the team. If we're winning, I'm not going to complain.
I feel like it's just a mindset, a mentality. Whether you're starting or coming off the bench, I feel like my game is very versatile, so I can do both things.
Starting, coming off the bench, whatever it may be, I feel I can adjust and I can play pretty much any role that I'm put in.
I've always gotten doubled. Coming off the bench, people try to eliminate bench scorers, so that's been my experience for years now. You just find ways to beat it.
