Coming off the bench, I'm able to view the game, see how their bigs are playing. And what I bring to the table is energy. The starters go in and run their bigs for a bit. When I check in it's time to punch the clock and play hard.

I try to play with the same confidence whether I'm starting or coming off the bench.

Caris LeVert

Whether I'm starting or coming off the bench, I just want to be able to help and compete.

Tyler Herro

The value in having bigs that have the ability to shoot from the perimeter has increased and having bigs that have the defensive versatility to not only protect the rim, but to switch out and defend smaller guards, the value of that has also increased.

Frank Vogel

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.

Rasheed Wallace

I'm not worried about who's starting and who's coming off the bench.

Trevor Ariza

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.

Caris LeVert

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.
