My teammates trust me; they know I make the right plays. I'm not a selfish guy.
I think it speaks a lot to Coach Kidd and my teammates to trust me as a rookie to make plays down the stretch. When they put that confidence in you, it's hard not to try to make plays.
I try to do my best to trust my teammates and make plays at the same time. I'm not the greatest at it. But I'm learning.
A big thing for me is trying to work on slowing down and not rushing plays, so I can be able to make plays for my teammates.
In pick-and-roll situations, I feel like the NBA is all pick-and-rolls, so I want to be able to handle the ball in pick-and-rolls and make the right read, make the right passes, and make plays for my teammates.
Me being young, I'm going to definitely mess up a lot more than I'm going to make the right play, but I want my teammates to be able to trust me and look at me as a veteran guard trying to run the team.
I have great teammates around me who make plays.
I'm trying so hard to win or make the right play or whatever, that you know, it kind of comes off as being selfish, but I'm not, I'm just used to being the guy.
If teams focus on me, that will allow my teammates to make plays.
I think, for me, I'm making the right plays and finding my teammates if I'm not open and finishing strong around the rim.
I've got to bring it every night and earn the right and trust from my coach and teammates to be able to make an impact on the game.
God, I know that if you bring me to it, you will bring me through it. I know you have a plan, but quite honestly I don’t see it right now. But I know it’s there. I know I have to believe. I know I need to have faith. I have to trust you. And I do trust you. But it’s hard right now.
I've seen those mistakes where I could have just given an easy layup or quick dump pass just to get my teammates going, so I watched a lot of stuff on that. Now I see it, now I can make those plays and make sure I feed my teammates.
Great leaders have to know when to divide that line from being selfless to being selfish, and he perfectly chose the time to be selfish and made plays.
When your teammates trust you to make the right play, your confidence is building as every game goes on.
I can't play the game of basketball and live my life on what other people expect me to do or what they think I should do. That doesn't make me happy. What makes me happy is being able to make plays for my teammates, to be able to represent the name on the back of my jersey.
I had to learn how to trust my gut. Trust what I know to be right... not right, but not waver on who I am. Know who I am, know what I want, and know it. Not waver on it and be secure in that. And I still struggle with it. But I really... I can't be moved. You can't move me, and that all comes with loving myself, and I'm like my best buddy.
