To be honest, I don't really care if I'm starting or coming off the bench.
I don't care about starting or coming off the bench or anything like that. To me, whatever role I'm in I'm going to try to help us win.
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.
Mentally, starting the game versus coming off the bench, there are different vibes.
I try to play with the same confidence whether I'm starting or coming off the bench.
Whether I'm starting or coming off the bench, I just want to be able to help and compete.
Coming off the bench or starting doesn't matter to me one bit. I just want to win.
When you're preparing for a game, you prepare like you're starting. But if you're not, if you're coming off the bench, everybody has a role.
Whether I'm starting or coming off the bench, bigs have to protect the rim and can't give nothing easy to nobody.
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.
Starting you automatically gets into your rhythm faster. Coming off the bench, you're colder; it can be harder at times.
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.
If I'm on the bench in a Premier League game, I'm thinking, 'What can I do coming off the bench?'
Even if I'm the 15th man on the bench, the first man off the bench, or I'm starting, I'm still part of that team.
I work hard in training and the ultimate goal is to get in the starting XI. All I can do coming off the bench is affect the game and score the goals so hopefully that puts a question mark in the manager's mind.
