Mario Hezonja has been anything but “Super” this season. Despite a few moments of offensive excitement in a New York Knicks uniform, Hezonja’s time on the court has been characterized by woeful defense, over-dribbling, and contested mid-range jumpers. Add in a fair amount of complaining to the refs and you have a very underwhelming start to the 2018-2019 season.
Hezonja, never lacking in confidence, is starting to look like a player whose bravado doesn’t match his game. But remember, this was a man while playing at Barcelona, who was once asked about going to watch soccer legend Lionel Messi live.
