Here’s a few quotes from Utah Jazz forward Taylor Hendricks on his improved strength/confidence going into year two.

(via Utah Jazz):

On getting stronger: “That was an emphasis for me heading into year two. I really wanted to work on my body, just because I know the role I’m going to be playing and I feel like my body is going to be a big part of that, my physicality. So I really just took that challenge and really worked on it.”

Says that he’s feeling more confident/prepared: “I feel way more confident heading into year two. Just having that year of experience under my belt, knowing what to expect, having around the same group of guys and the close-knit bond that we have. I feel just ready.”
