Jordan Hawkins on his time in Birmingham, Jose Alvarado | Pelicans vs Nets Shootaround 1/2/24

From here where it’s like hey look I’m here to provide space for for z b i CJ and go down to the g- league and it’s like there’s probably a lot more just focus on you um it was was really fun I got a chance to play a little bit um got

A chance to go up and down to shoot some shots get some shots up uh just stay ready uh when the team need me so it was a was a good experience I had fun down there so when when you do that is it like is it like almost going back to

College of like this defense is tilted towards me kind of yeah it was it kind of felt like college out there um a little but uh definitely I was the number one guy in this SC report so um I mean but it was fun out there what’s

Just been your your focus on I mean look like just NBA defense for all rookies it’s just it’s just hard what’s just been the the focus for you kind of um you know holding your own at that end uh I think I’m just trying to get stronger

I mean the guys in NBA they’re a lot stronger than they were in college um just trying to guard my yard that’s just the biggest thing for me um uh so that’s about it what do you think of um the potential poal that you guys have as a

Bench in terms of just the impact that they’ve been making and you know obviously Trey’s been in and out lately but just what what do you think of what you guys are capable of when everything comes together I think we’re a really really deep team um I think we have a

Lot of guys that can provide a lot of things uh defensively and offensively um that’s our team we we have we have one of the deepest teams in the league I do believe that so um it’s exciting uh with we haven’t reached our full potential

Yet um we know we have a another a five that can start anywhere in the league so uh it’s really fun to be out there so when you were in Birmingham you were able to Showcase a little more than just your three ball get into the rack a

Little bit too and some mid how good was it just to be able to show that variety um it felt good um got to play my game out down there um got to work on some things as well uh I wanted to working on

Uh so it was really fun um just had just had fun playing just felt free so was like watching ose go crazy that last game I mean it was dope um he was just everywhere on the court um I mean that but that’s what he does I’m not

Surprised at all and that’s what he’s going to tell you to do for the season uh for the course of the season so it was really cool to watch has he tried to like get you in practice or anything like that like no he hasn’t got me he

Usually on the same team in practice so he hasn’t got me but seeing it in person is kind of crazy like I don’t even see him sometimes so it it’s pretty cool yeah what do you think of the impact that Larry’s been able to make already

In these two games that he’s played I mean Larry Larry’s definitely a X Factor for this te that’s what he does defensively he can guard one through five when he’s in the game we can switch one through five so it’s definitely it’s definitely a dynamic piece to have for

The team and um he’s just such a great leader as well on and off the court so
