Larry Nance Jr. talks roster depth, practicing clutch scenarios | New Orleans Pelicans

Can you just the road being able to finish and the last game go the way you wanted finish that t to and just what we that um you know this is something that this team expects to do um we expected to go four in one but obviously last

Night slipped away from us um you know we have no reason not to be in these games winning these games very competitive against anybody so the fact that we went three and two is great the fact that we’re seven and three in our last 10 is great um but again it’s we’re

Not happy we want 8-2 we want 9- one we want 10 and0 so um you know we’re going to keep striving for more and and and uh you know keep pushing for greatness you obviously seen this team the last two years what’s the area movie that you’ve

Noticed the most grow of this team even from the start of this season um honestly I think the biggest thing is our our roster our roster we have legitimate NBA players on on our roster like really really good NBA players that aren’t even playing and there’s not many teams in the NBA that

Can say that um so I think I mean you know that’s hats off to you know Player Development for getting these guys to a point you know all of us to a point where you know we can be rotational pieces service serviceable players in the NBA and and credit to the front

Office for putting together this roster I think and credit to the guys for their work you know what I mean I think um you know players aren’t made overnight and there’s a lot of work put into that and so you know it’s uh a lot of credit do

Around here but I think the biggest thing is is just how balanced and how talented the roster is what’s the importance for the team these next four games at home defend home court um I think our record at home is like 12 and8 and that’s not where it

Should be you know our we’ve got a great home court advantage and and we’re proud of that so um you know I think it’s important you know obviously we got Charlotte tomorrow I think it’s what Charlotte Phoenix Utah OKC and you know those are teams that are very capable of

Beating us and very capable of us beating them so it’s going to be some it’s going to be some good basketball at the Smoothie King so I think I think the key for us is just defend home court and make sure people know that when they

Come here it’s going to be a fight coach kind of talked about you guys practicing these clutch game scenarios um how much has that kind of helped and how can you guys kind of fix those leate g games um I think it’s I think it’s been great

Obviously the more reps you get in certain clutch situations the more the better it’s going to be for us you know we have guys um we have guys that you know haven’t been in playoff games that haven’t been in major you know you know major games and so you know as much as

You can emulate situations um emulate situations and practice that you’re going to see in games is is is key for us and and Will’s done a great job of putting us in position um putting us in position to uh to uh to to to kind of practice those it’s been great what do

You feel like has been the biggest thing missing in the um we got to make our free throws right now we’re sitting 22nd in the NBA in free throw percentage and that’s that’s uncharacteristic of us we have two we have guys that are really good free throw shooters that are just

Uh you know smoking some right now so um first thing first is free throw second turnovers you know we got to take care of the ball value possessions and and um you know I think uh I think those two things are mainly it I think it’s more

Our offense than our defense in those situations so take care of the ball make our free throws and and we’ll be just fine when it comes to the Hornet obvious they just got lamelo back I mean just how much is he of forc and somebody that

You you have kind of ke in I mean lamelo is a guy that just play he he plays with so much joy in the basketball court that like he just makes the whole team their whole team tick and run and you know just really enjoy playing so obviously

He’s super talented man’s been an allar Allstar and and uh you know going to present a definite challenge for us but you know it’s not just him Terry’s been Terry’s been terrific this year obviously um you know he got some really talented pieces so um you know this is

One that you absolutely can’t take lightly and and uh you know we’ll be ready for it good to go thanks guys take care
