The 27-year-old took on Phoenix’s veteran opposition with poise during the Finals as well, notching 22 points and shooting 60 percent from the field for a series-turning Game 3 win.
“I worked so hard and my teammates and my coaches believed in me, and I just stayed down until it was my turn,” said Copper during the MVP award presentation.
