Trey Murphy III on offensive turnaround, Herb Jones | Pelicans at Hawks Postgame Interview 3/10/24

You know the period of time when you were struggling um you know how how mentally did did you handle that to kind of make it out the other side and and get where you are now I would just say staying even that’s been the biggest thing for me my entire life is not

Getting too high not getting too low no matter what happens because you know if you work hard and you treat the game right eventually things are going to happen for you and that’s how they have been my entire life so I just knew eventually I was going to get back out

Of it yeah I mean you guys have created a just generating a lot of looks off of you know Zion initiating the offense how much I guess gravity does does he have when he is an initiator of plays yeah he’s one of the best players in the

League when it comes to that he has probably top three gravity uh in the entire NBA and so I’m able to benefit a lot off of that because my man has a help and if they don’t help then it’s a layup at the run and what do you think

About just how he looks physically right now I mean he had bunch of steals a bunch of blocks in Philly uh 12 rebounds in Philly and then tonight you know a lot of defensive the place to Sensational Sensational for sure JV coming up on a 8,000 career

Rebounds should get it either this next home game or the next one what does he bring to this squad and when he does something like he did in the first quarter tonight with eight boards does that help set a tone for y’all no absolutely and uh I’ll apologize in

Advance because he probably already be at 8,000 if it wasn’t for me stealing boards from him but um you know it’s all part of the game so um but no he’s a monster down there and he’s able to secure rebounds for us and finish possessions which is a big part of

Defense why do you think you guys have I guess defended at a really high level for two years in a row as a team herb Jones that’s really it I mean he’s an all NBA Defender and he’s a leader of this team when it comes to defense and

We just follow suit I mean I know obviously her’s a really big part of it but like no one before the start of last season was predicting like the Pelicans to be a good defensive team and now you’ve guys have are kind of doing it

Two years in a row like is that I don’t know surprising to you at all no not at all like if you watch us in training campar in practice like you would see how hard we play and I think that’s the biggest thing defense is about is just

Playing hard and then being smart you know I feel like we’ve gotten smarter throughout the season and figuring out each other and knowing like when to help when not to help and so I think it’s just been you know the identity of our team um this might be too soon to ask forgive

Me if so Evan Moy mayor man out plays got that sprain angle but since he was on the all defense team last year if he does go at home in the Smoothie King Center is that a matchup you think her would especially get up for or that

Would be interesting to watch unfold as he tries to prove his case that he belongs in that number uh I mean I don’t think her would be guarding him if I’m being quite Frank with you but um I mean yeah for sure uh I think her really just

Going to take the challenge every single night and playing defense and locking down no matter who’s out there when you have two guys of that caliber on the court how could that help his case considering you’ve got a 100 Global writers and broadcasters you have to impress and unfortunately sometimes the

Smaller Market teams like the Pelicans they just don’t get the attention even though guys like her have the stats and are putting in the work I mean a lot of you just gota let the work show for itself I mean obviously we do our part

And bringing light to it as well but I mean her brings his brings his defensive prowess every single game and you know the writers should see that he is a top five defender in the entire league thanks appreciate it
