Buong transkripsyon ng Dillon Mitchell explains what he's been working on with the Celtics' player development team

WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:09.830 It's been really good. And I think the biggest thing 2 00:00:09.869 --> 00:00:12.710 is just the consistency of it. Every day, no matter 3 00:00:12.730 --> 00:00:15.369 what's going on, we make sure to get our work in. 4 00:00:15.390 --> 00:00:17.910 Even on long days, we try to get something in, 5 00:00:17.929 --> 00:00:18.870 whether it's 15 minutes. 6 00:00:18.910 --> 00:00:22.539 But it's been really good just working on the fundamentals, 7 00:00:22.579 --> 00:00:25.750 working on the quorum, shooting all the way up. Just confidence, 8 00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.199 but it's been good. It's been consistent. I see you taking, like, 9 00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:29.199 half-court shots. 10 00:00:29.260 --> 00:00:30.820 You're, like, starting to side ways. 11 00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:33.079 What's the thought process behind taking. 12 00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:33.179 The first one? 13 00:00:33.500 --> 00:00:36.539 Just to feel myself shooting on the way up and 14 00:00:36.579 --> 00:00:39.909 shooting from a lower set. I think it's the biggest 15 00:00:39.929 --> 00:00:42.789 thing with that. Instead of shooting on the top, how 16 00:00:42.810 --> 00:00:45.310 I used to before, it's just working on really shooting 17 00:00:45.329 --> 00:00:48.030 on the way up and kind of feeling that movement. 18 00:00:48.049 --> 00:00:52.259 Is that starting to become, like, secondary for you? 19 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:52.359 Yeah. 20 00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:54.439 Yeah, for sure, and I think it's got to the 21 00:00:54.460 --> 00:00:57.520 point where I can fix it myself. If I feel 22 00:00:57.560 --> 00:00:59.929 during the workout I may be going back to old 23 00:00:59.950 --> 00:01:02.409 habits or bad habits, I've got to the point where 24 00:01:02.429 --> 00:01:04.629 I'm able to fix it myself and make corrections myself, 25 00:01:04.650 --> 00:01:07.569 so it's been good. Were you surprised at all at 26 00:01:07.590 --> 00:01:10.069 how much things translated in that first week using game? 27 00:01:10.090 --> 00:01:12.769 Like, just your first NBA action, like, were you nervous 28 00:01:12.790 --> 00:01:14.450 at all that it wouldn't feel that way? 29 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.140 I wouldn't say nervous. Nervous was going a little bit 30 00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.650 just because, you know, it's your first time, but... Once 31 00:01:19.670 --> 00:01:21.010 you get on the court, it's basketball. You just go 32 00:01:21.030 --> 00:01:23.849 out there and hope, have fun. And then just the 33 00:01:23.870 --> 00:01:25.969 confidence that the coaches put in us, the trust we 34 00:01:25.989 --> 00:01:29.060 have as teammates all together. And you just go out 35 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:30.900 there and play. I know what my role is. I 36 00:01:30.939 --> 00:01:33.060 know what my job is to do out there, and 37 00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:35.859 that's defend, rebound, and all those things that I've been doing. 38 00:01:35.900 --> 00:01:37.439 So just going out there and saying to do those. 39 00:01:37.939 --> 00:01:39.469 What's one of the most interesting. 40 00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.790 Things so far, Craig, in that small group work you've 41 00:01:41.810 --> 00:01:45.709 been doing? Is there something that you've never done before? Yeah, yeah. 42 00:01:46.530 --> 00:01:47.310 Man, I don't know. 43 00:01:47.329 --> 00:01:50.209 I think to me the biggest takeaway with it is 44 00:01:50.269 --> 00:01:51.530 just the consistency of it. 45 00:01:52.569 --> 00:01:54.170 Day in and day out, we get our work in 46 00:01:54.230 --> 00:01:56.629 no matter, like I said, if it's something quick or anything. 47 00:01:57.170 --> 00:01:58.450 We make sure to get our work in, and to 48 00:01:58.489 --> 00:02:01.760 me that's the biggest thing. To me, I want development, 49 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:03.680 you know, and that's a big reason why I'm here 50 00:02:03.739 --> 00:02:06.519 is just to develop, to get better. And the consistency 51 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.180 they bring and the energy they bring every day is 52 00:02:08.979 --> 00:02:09.659 the biggest thing. 53 00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:11.319 I'd say to me. Looks like you guys just came 54 00:02:11.379 --> 00:02:14.060 out of the zone. For you in those sessions, what 55 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.300 are you seeing? How active are you in some of those? 56 00:02:17.379 --> 00:02:19.099 Are you just kind of sitting back? What's one of 57 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:20.590 the most interesting things you've seen? 58 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:22.930 I just sit back and try to learn as much 59 00:02:22.969 --> 00:02:24.729 as I can, just listen to some of the older guys, 60 00:02:24.770 --> 00:02:27.469 listen to Joe, and just try to learn as much 61 00:02:27.490 --> 00:02:29.330 as I can, take it all in and understand what 62 00:02:29.349 --> 00:02:33.090 they say, understand the concepts that they talk about, understand 63 00:02:33.129 --> 00:02:35.849 their perspective, how they see things on the court. So 64 00:02:36.050 --> 00:02:37.430 that's the biggest thing I can do as a younger 65 00:02:37.449 --> 00:02:39.509 player is just sit in there and learn as much 66 00:02:39.530 --> 00:02:42.099 as I can. You guys just went on a big 67 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.039 long road trip. What are the best things you can 68 00:02:44.060 --> 00:02:46.949 do on a trip like that? They've been pretty chill 69 00:02:46.990 --> 00:02:49.110 on me. I don't want to jinx it, but I've 70 00:02:49.129 --> 00:02:51.810 got to bring the Catan board game. So sometimes I 71 00:02:51.830 --> 00:02:53.900 get tired of the plan and I feel a little tapped, like, yo, 72 00:02:53.909 --> 00:02:55.860 where's the board game? I've got to make sure I 73 00:02:55.860 --> 00:02:59.270 get that up, but Not too much, not too much yet. 74 00:02:59.569 --> 00:03:01.330 Making it easy on you right now? 75 00:03:01.569 --> 00:03:02.050 So far. 76 00:03:02.069 --> 00:03:04.469 I hope you're not jinxing this. Hopefully they don't see this. 77 00:03:04.930 --> 00:03:08.199 Do you have a team playing routine next to anybody, 78 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:09.840 or are you still figuring that out? 79 00:03:09.900 --> 00:03:11.580 No, me and Chris usually sit next to each other, 80 00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:17.960 and that's about it. Me and the other rookie. I 81 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:25.150 think just his intensity. Obviously, his length and athleticism. But 82 00:03:25.189 --> 00:03:27.770 just his intensity, how hard he practices, how hard he defends. 83 00:03:28.270 --> 00:03:29.729 Just his passion for the game. You can see it 84 00:03:29.770 --> 00:03:32.590 on the court, the emotions that he plays with and 85 00:03:32.669 --> 00:03:33.770 even practices with every day.
