Ignas Brazdeikis isn’t your typical second-round pick. While most guys tend to use their second-round status as motivation to succeed, the New York Knicks rookie isn’t overly concerned with how other people perceive him.
“I’m just here to prove myself right,” he said to Ian Begley of SNY. “I don’t really care about anyone else, proving them wrong, whatever. I know who I am, I know how good I am, and I know how much I can help this team. I’m going to prove it, I’m going to do my thing. And I don’t hold anything against anyone (who may have overlooked him).
