Do you feel like you’re better prepared mentally and physically to play a bigger role this season? Nikola Jovic: “For sure, for sure. I’m sure I’m more ready. More ready mentally and physically. The shot also is going to help me a lot. We have some great players that dominate the paint like Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. If you get a wide open three, they want you to make it. That’s why you have guys like Max Strus and Gabe Vincent, Duncan Robinson, K-Love (Kevin Love) who always are going to make shots and they needed to be great to be where we were last year. It’s something we need and it’s something I’m trying to just think about all the time and be ready and confident. Because when I get it, I know they want me to make it.” -via Miami Herald / September 25, 2023
