Dyson Daniels talks Pelicans offense, rebounding | Pelicans-Suns Shootaround 1/19/2024

You know with just like uh a little more of the than half the season of sample size like how are you just feeling about where you guys are as a team offensively right now uh we’re feeling great you know uh I think especially the last like 10 games you know offense has really

Picked up you know guys been playing well together Ball’s been moving we been shooting the ball well um you know getting a lot more threes up which is good and they’re good shots as well you know the ball’s getting inside out um I mean Trey you know Hawk CJ these guys

Are all all shooting the the ball really well right now so it’s um it’s good to see the ball going through and the offense is uh playing well yeah what’s it like watching uh Hawkins kind of do his thing offensively as as a rookie no that’s great you know that guy’s

Unbelievable the way he can move you know come off screens knock down shots the the difficulty in his shot making is um you know it’s great to see and um to see him out there you know doing his thing special and it helps our team a

Lot her was just her was just talking we were asking him about Hawk and he said that even with Hawk’s fast release he still was able ble to block one of his shots in practice but what do you think about um just how quick Hawk has be able

To get rid of the ball yeah I think that’s the thing one of the things that makes him special is you don’t really know when he’s going to shoot it you know he’s got a really good pump fate he can get it off quick so you got to be

Like you know decisive where you’re going to jump whether you’re going to stay down and you if you don’t get a good contest on him and there’s really no contest so uh for him you know he sees the rim you know it’s going up and um we want him shoot every time he

Catches it you know he’s like good at at making those type of shots and tough shots so it’s great for our team when um he’s getting looks and um we’re getting him open stuff like that so uh we need to continue to do that noticed um you individually have had four straight

Games in a row where you’ve had multiple offensive rebounds is what’s behind that is it just being more aggressive is it just like the approach of what you’re doing yeah I think so you know a lot of my offensive rebounds come from when we shoot threes and the more threes we get

Up the more chances it is for me to go offensive rebound so if I’m not shooting it then I’m most likely going to be crashing and it’s just a way for me to you know get involved get extra possessions and um you know something that I can do to impact the game and

What is the focus for you offensively to kind of put your mark on the game as well yeah for me you know like I said offensive rebound you know get out in transition and defensive rebound as well I think that’s a way that I can get it

Push the pace you know get involved um you know back door Cuts if I have the ball play playing out a pick and roll just you know trying to pick the the defense apart whether it be hit the pocket pass get to my floa hit the corner they’re just trying to know find

Ways to stay involved but I think a big one for me is you know getting rebounds and um getting buckets that way is it harder for other teams to box people out when you have all the three-point shooting like all the space yeah I think so I think one thing we’ve done really

Well is our spacing has been good so you know when when your spacing is good you know defense is you know kind of spread out so there’s a lot more room to go in there and offensive rebound and I think I think it’s a bit of an effort thing as

Well you know when the ball goes up you know just crush them hard trying to tip it out you know trying to get the hand your hand on the ball so um you know something I’ll try to do
