Trey Murphy III on evolution of NBA offense, Utah game | Pelicans-Jazz Shootaround 1/23/24

I don’t know how much of the games you caught last night but like embid 70 cat whatever he had like what do you just think about the place that like offense has has gotten to the NBA today it’s difficult to guard you know a lot of these guys especially with the way

Rosters are constructed and new offenses this year I mean you know the NBA is definitely evolving guys are getting more skilled offense is getting a lot tougher the rules are a lot less um in favor of the defense so you know that’s what you’re going to see yeah is that

Something like you hear from like the people in your life who’ve been watching the game for a while it’s like it’s just it just officiated a little bit differently now um I wouldn’t even say officiated I mean like my dad he’s one of the ones that says like we don’t play

Defense anymore but it’s just like dog if you watch the games from back then and watch now like the actions are just so much different and so much more difficult to guard is one of the best offensive rebounding teams in the league and um overall as well from the it seems like

You guys have done a better job as the season has progressed in terms of defensive rebounding what do you think has been kind of the key to that as far as um it was something that people talked about at the beginning of the season but it hasn’t really been lately

It’s just been more of an emphasis to just get the ball that’s it there’s not really anything else to It Boxing man I’ll go get the ball finish possession so we can get out of running transition this guy really shoot it uh like Glory Glory marinin you know he guy

That’s place where he’s taking like eight threes a game I mean just what do you think about him on the offensive end and what he’s doing this year I mean a lot like last year um he got the Utah got into a really good situation and you

Know he’s really showing what he can do with his game and uh you know it’s great to see especially because you know he was at one point just a pick and pop big and now he’s turned into like a wing score jumbo scorer so um you know it’s

Really nice to see but uh we’ll definitely send a lot of guys at him tonight just being in the west is it like there’s just no easy nights is that how you kind of approach it like there’s I mean there’s not really many as nights in NBA you’re playing against the best

Guys in the world but the West definitely is very tough for sure there’s a bunch of teams in the west that you guys played early in the season and lost to and then came back and beat them the second or third time that you played them in including Utah what what

Do you attribute that to is it adjustments that you guys made I mean how do you account for that it just seems like you guys have done a good job of kind of responding the first time getting better throughout the year um you know we are a team that didn’t have

A lot of chemistry at the beginning of the year especially leading into like from last year to this year so now we’re getting a lot more reps in a lot more chemistry going on and we’re do definitely getting better you talked about like how offensive the game is

Coming off of Friday’s game and obviously the offensive exposure from the sun’s there like how much Focus was on the defense these past couple days no it’s been a big Focus for sure I mean we definitely hang our hats on defense and uh when a team gets off like that you

Know it’s not a good feeling so we definitely want to make sure we make that up uh tonight appreciate sir
