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.
