Heat forward Andre Iguodala on Kendrick Nunn's recent play: “I like that he’s ready, whenever his number is called. His career, coming from college, coming here, having rookie success and then getting into the bubble and having some hiccups with trying to get to the bubble and being the odd man out. This year, our depth, it’s not in everyone’s favor at times. And the way he’s responded every time his number is called, it’s a great thing for a guy that young, never gets discouraged and always ready to play.”
