Duncan has really stepped up with Herro injured, and seems to have his shooting confidence back. Not to mention, his handle and finishing at the rim has noticeably improved.

His full season averages: 15.1/2.7/2.7 on 48/43/90 splits in 14 games

Those are the stats of a man whose coaches sent him to a sports psychologist last season

Apparently Kevin Love has made a point of sitting next to him during travel and talking with him a ton, which Duncan says has been a huge help to him mentally.

Stuff like this makes me happy to hear. In a similar vein Raptor staff and vets like Garett Temple and Thad Young have been sitting and encouraging Malachi Flynn on the bench and he's having the best season of his career now. I think Nick Nurse is a great coach but he can be a bit of an asshole and I don't think he was as good at the emotional part of being a coach

This is such an underrated part of the value that quality veterans bring
