ORLANDO – Buried on the bench for large stretches of his Spanish League season because of his relative youthfulness and his NBA aspirations, Mario Hezonja could have easily lost his confidence and been broken as a player.

But that’s clearly not in the makeup of Hezonja, a player who practically oozes confidence out his every pore and shoots with the swagger of a 10-year vet.
