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
Any source, interested in reading about it.
