“We’re Locked In And Our Headlights Are On.” | Jaden McDaniels Shootaround Sound | 01.12.24

Jaden in the game against the Celtics Kyle Anderson um really had a tremendous game on both sides of the ball what is his play at to your team and in general what does he bring um I’ll say he brings like a lot of Versatility I mean he could play multiple positions and then

You can see in the game like he knows he can score like on different mismatches so that’s what he did last last game and I’ll would say just his ability to play defense guard everyone like feel like we’re similar he just is a better playmaker so whenever there’s a period

Of time when a player is going through a a shooting slump is it just like when you see that one go through is that usually the thing that switches somebody yeah a little bit I feel like it’s just like a little mental thing just knowing like uh like you going go through ups

And downs you going to miss shots make shots so just staying confident with it and then Jane what would you say you guys have learned over these past 16 games where youve had a really tough stretch uh I’ll would say like coming down like to final possessions or even

Every possession matters in the game cuz you never know like what the end of the game some like how Celtics got the their first Miss free throw was the rebound they got so just little things like that matter so much talk about the 16 games

And now that it’s over how do you make sure that you come out tonight like nobody like takes a breath I would say just learning from last year like games like these or not playing like 500 teams like we’ll kind of play down the competition so I think we’ve learned

From previous year of just not doing that and just coming in and treating them with respect is that easier to do when Portland was one of those games at Target Center yeah I would say it’s like it’s easier to do I feel like we’re locked in him our our headlights is on

So we’ll be fine kind of the the Dallas gam that the Boston were kind of similar in the way it ended you guys had a lead let it come you guys have been really good about learning from your mistakes kind of turning the page what are kind

Of some of the discussions been like with you guys as to how to approach your late game off uh really just kind of slowing down like the pace a little bit and I’ll say uh just protecting the ball not trying to rush through things and like get silly turnovers at the other

Team doesn’t cause and then just running our set sharing the ball and like having ball movement I feel like that’s when we’re our best is it is it when you get to the that point of the game is it more difficult to run what you want because

Of the pace of player I mean at times just like sometimes they be doubling ant so we can’t get in certain plays so like but it’s still uh I feel like if we move the ball and like we don’t really need no plays like we’re all versatile like

We all can play Pick and rolles so I feel like we just move the ball we’ll be all right he could he wants obviously wants to BSS to shoot he do a good job like when he get double he gets off it and then we try to

Find our way to give it back to him so we know that he wants to take the last shot or tough shot so like I mean we all trust him he trust us so it’s just same likewise yeah J you’re linking up with Urban Adventures um to donate the coach

How did you come in touch with them and why is that I say I did it last year um my agency kind of help help me set it up and find it and then like I actually like doing it it was pretty cool it wasn’t like too overwhelming or anything

Uh the kids were nice they asking me questions so it was a fun experience so I just wanted to do it again so as soon as you’re done with that you’re like next year same time yeah I was like same thing I could keep doing this as long as y’all want me to
