"I think everything comes with reps and repetition,"
"And I think Jordi [Fernández] talks about this a lot, for us as a group and for me personally. And I think that's a big part of my transition on this level, is just getting used to those things that I haven't met before. On the pick-and-roll, the physicality, looking at the different coverages and things like that, and obviously the ball pressure."
"People were trying to press me because they know I can lose the ball sometimes, but I'm getting more comfortable with it, for sure, because as I said, it's just repetition,"
"And as I get more comfortable with it, I'll [understand] that more."
The 19-year-old guard has remained calm and confident throughout his rookie season in Brooklyn. Patience and self-awareness define his approach to growth and in-game adjustments. He emphasizes repetition to handle pick-and-rolls, physicality, different coverages, and ball pressure. Turnovers have decreased as comfort has grown, with one turnover against Toronto after three versus the Knicks. Through 10 games, averages are 7.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists while shooting 39.3% overall, 37.5% from three and 83.3% from the line. Recent starts show higher scoring, assists and improved shooting percentages, reflecting steady progress.
