    Who was this guy tonight? Has he been training with Steph Curry this summer? I’ve never seen him move like that since he’s been with us

      Duncan is a really self aware guy with zero ego. His entire philosophy is just about making literally any changes and improvements to help the team. UD speaks really highly of Duncan’s work ethic, bball iq, and just a complete willingness to improve at literally anything with zero ego.

      The neat thing about Duncan’s development and ethos as a player is that despite the contract, he literally seems to mentally keep himself in a healthy place of “I’m still a g league player looking for a contract.” Because he constantly seems to be in that place mentally, he’s always driven to add stuff to his game that makes him valuable (outside of shooting alone). He wants to keep adding stuff to his game so he’s harder to plan for and defend against.

      Yes, I’ve listened to too many Duncan “the long shot” podcast eps and am a big Duncan fan lol
