Mario Hezonja had a pretty modest pre-season with the Knicks, but he does not worry about that. As he said to “New York Post” things are going according to plan.
“It’s not about me trying to show off immediately and do some crazy stuff,” Hezonja told The Post. “I’m being overly patient, trying to play for my teammates, trying to see who I fit with. It’s a new kind of team. I don’t want to be an a–hole to anybody. I’m just trying to figure out my own team. I know I can hold myself up easily. I was trying figure out the environment.”
In preseason, Hezonja averaged eight points, one assist and 2.2 turnovers in 20 minutes per game.
According to him, he just did not want to rush things.
“It’s exactly where my mindset was,” Hezonja said. “I wasn’t like: ‘Here, guys, this is me and I’m going to show you who I am.’ I feel we have great people in the locker room who hang out off the court. I don’t want to be bad chemistry. We’re all friends and the veterans are trying to help me.”
