Following Monday’s 124-111 highway win vs. the Utah Jazz, Dallas Mavericks rookie Jaden Hardy talked in regards to the excessive stage of confidence he has in his talents (29 factors/4 rebounds/4 assists/2 steals/8-12 FG/4-6 3-PT/9-9 FT).

(by way of Bally Sports Southwest):

Derek Harper: “You were sensational on the floor tonight, where does a game like this take your confidence? I know you’re always confident, but what can a game like this do moving forward for a young player like yourself?

Hardy: “It’s just a game, it’s just hooping, I’ve been doing this. This is nothing new to me, I’ve been playing pros my whole life. So just staying confident, staying humble, and just waiting my turn. I feel like the cream of the crop is gonna rise to the top.”
