OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER MEDIA CONFERENCESeptember 24, 2018Terrance FergusonOklahoma City, Oklahoma Q. What would you say is the biggest change do you think is going to be in your game from your rookie year? TERRANCE FERGUSON: Definitely my body, and that's how I spent my summer, just focusing on my body each and every day, and then also my decision making, making plays for myself, making plays for others, which I worked all summer on with Darko. Q. The Summer League was kind of an uncomfortable experience for you, you were playing in a role that was a little bit different. Was that almost a learning experience for you? Were you able to glean certain aspects from your experience? It obviously wasn't comfortable, but were you able to take certain things and say, okay, I can take this into this next season in my more natural role? TERRANCE FERGUSON: Most definitely. Like you said, it was definitely uncomfortable, and at times I was like, I don't want to do this, but I thought about it, and I felt like to be victorious, you've always got to fail. People who fail a lot always come out on top, so I took that as a learning experience and I kept working, and I'm doing the same thing now, but I feel way more comfortable at it. Q. Just on a sort of personal side, how do you feel different? You were a 19-year-old rookie this time last year. Now you've got a full season behind you and some other young guys are now on the team. On a personal level, how much more comfortable and confident do you feel? TERRANCE FERGUSON: You know, once you get a year under your belt, you always feel more comfortable. Last year was definitely new to me, obviously playing my first year, but coming into this year, 20 years old, having a year under my belt, definitely feel more confident, more focused, changing my body up, changing my eating habits up, and I've got a little girl on the way, so that changing up my whole focus, as well. Q. Looking ahead to your game in Tulsa in a few weeks, being a Tulsa native, what's the excitement level there, and how has your fan base growing being from the area? TERRANCE FERGUSON: I'm always excited to go back home to Tulsa. I was there not too long ago visiting the Gathering Place, and about that Tulsa trip, I'm going to need like 10 tickets. I'm going to need like 10 -- probably 20. I'm going to need a lot of tickets for that Tulsa trip. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
