NBA 2K LEAGUE DRAFTFebruary 22, 2020Christopher "Duck" CharlesNew York, New York Q. Again, being a home-town kid, playing for this kind of team, especially when you think about a couple years ago they made it to The Finals and won, seeing their development since then, what do you feel like you can add right away? CHRISTOPHER "DUCK" CHARLES: I feel like me coming in as a point guard, I feel I can add leadership. I feel like sometimes last year the Knicks lacked leadership, and that's what I bring to the table. I feel like that's one of the main keys of importance that was happening this season. I feel like we can bring leadership, really just a sense of everybody being a family. I feel like that can really make us successful. Q. Seeing the growth dynamic across the league in terms of the emphasis placed on point guard play, versatile players, what has it been like watching that, especially when you're playing and you're continuing to develop your game coming into this moment? CHRISTOPHER "DUCK" CHARLES: Obviously I know that being a point guard is one of the most important parts of the team. Obviously the last two years the 2K League has had a champion, both of the point guards were very good, so I know that coming into season three I'm going to have to be on my game. Q. When it comes to that kind of competition, being at the point guard spot, what do you think is the most underrated aspect or aspect that is overlooked when it comes to being a point guard and playing against other stellar point guards? CHRISTOPHER "DUCK" CHARLES: Being able to stay composed. I feel like when you have the crowd chirping at you, when you have the other team chirping at you, sometimes there's tension in the air. So being able to stay composed and keep on doing the right things, making sure that the coach's vision is being put on the court, I feel like we can do that and be successful. Q. What are the Knicks getting by having you on the team now? CHRISTOPHER "DUCK" CHARLES: They're getting leadership, a sense of brotherhood. Just creating a family. I feel like that's one of the most important things back from season one. I feel like GOOFY, Idris, I feel like all them were a family, so I want to create that sense again. Q. Can I get you to say and spell your name and gamer tag? CHRISTOPHER "DUCK" CHARLES: Christopher Charles, Duck. Q. I know it's early, but what are the expectations for yourself and the team in season three? CHRISTOPHER "DUCK" CHARLES: Expectations, obviously a championship. I want to bring a championship back to the city. I feel like we have the assets around us to be good, and I feel like bringing me in we'll be able to accomplish it. Q. What went through your head when your name was called? CHRISTOPHER "DUCK" CHARLES: I was very excited. I had my mother and grandmother next to me, and obviously they were very excited. They know it's a big thing for me, so I'm happy to have their support. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
