"I don't know," Carter-Williams replied when I asked him how leading the league in triple-doubles made him feel.

"I just try to go out there and give it my all really. Our big men are doing a great job of contesting on their big men, so that leaves us guards to rebound. So, I try to get as many rebounds as I can. My teammates did a great job running the floor, and my job is just to kick it ahead and be aggressive at times. I think that’s what led to some of these triple-doubles. Without my teammates it really can’t be done. I just try to play my part on the team.”

Carter-Williams also said that he has just been relaxing out on the court, and that that has played a part in his improved play.

“I think I’ve relaxed a little bit. I’m keeping my composure a little bit more, I’m not trying to do it all myself. I’m trying to let things happen, rather than try to force it a little bit. I’m just trying to get better each and every day and improve on the day before.”
