Posted Jun 17, 2017
Eric Ebron admitted he was “hard-headed” as a rookie and has since learned to pick his battles, which has been part of the process of his methodical maturity. “In pretty much every aspect of my life, I have grown. And it’s fun to do but even better for my teammates and people to watch because I get compliments on it all the time. So obviously I’m doing something right.” (Detroit Free Press)
