“I keep telling him, ‘You gotta be aggressive. This is an awesome opportunity. Nobody will look at your percentages your rookie year. You can’t lose, let it fly. You determine your own destiny. You determine the type of player you want to be. Be aggressive. You’re here for a reason. You get a great opportunity starting. Just kinda have fun. You can’t lose, that’s a great feeling. So embrace it, let it rip, and play to your strength.’ You can tell he’s an amazing player, and once he realizes that himself, he’s going to be way more productive.”
