Julian Strawther Full Post Game Press Conference vs. Memphis Grizzlies 🎙

Preparation you know waiting for your chance to play again but he also highlighted uh the work you put in in the G League just curious from your perspective how that’s helped you kind of Stay Ready oh for sure you be able to go down there and get real game reps

Against real talented guys is I mean it’s huge I mean you could drill and and be up here in the practice facility and do drills and get shots up but it’s not the same as you know having reps out there and going against a team so being

Able to go down there knock some rest off coming off the injury it was Major for me how do you accept that just being in such a different environment than an NBA environment to for your for your own benefit uh I mean it’s something that

Was discussed to me you know even in the in the pre-draft process you know how do you feel about this and that I mean it’s it’s something that teams always ask you and it’s something that I’m open to you know I love to game of basketball I love

To play so you know an opportunity to play is an opportunity I’ll take so whether it’s in a g or in an NBA I’m always ready was there anything about your game that you tried to explore a little bit more in the G League uh n not

Too much I just wanted to go down there and knock knock a lot of rust off and you know get shots up uh obviously I hadn’t been shooting it too well going into that so just being able to go down there and you know shoot from the NBA

Line and guys hunting shots for me I mean it was huge I think you mentioned before the season you didn’t play a bunch in your freshman year right um that that was going to be something that would help you if your minutes were kind of fluctuating what did you take from I

Guess what you learned in college about minutes being you know given at certain points and not being given that you’ve applied at this did I feel like the biggest thing for me was I waited my turn and it worked out for me at Gonzaga so I understand that you know if you do

The right thing and and you accept it come in here at work and do your job every day that your time will come and and you know opportunities like today will arise I mean I didn’t wake up today and no I was going to play so you know

Just being able to be ready uh having PD coaches that that keep me ready and you know challenge me every day to you know keep me in shape and things like that so I can come out here and you know have an impact what’s the biggest thing for you

Like mentally when you’re not playing to continue to stay ready uh I mean I got a lot of vets that are just in my ear constantly you know I sit next to DeAndre Jordan on the bench so he’s constantly in my ear telling me little things he notices you know watching

Other Shooters how they maneuver off screens or or little things about how people are guarding certain people and oh you see that you see how he died on that screen there just something you can’t do so you know just having vets in my ear that can help me break down the

Game while I’m on the bench watching it is Major can you break down Christian Brown’s fit when he was walking in I think Christian looked amaz I think that was his best fit of the Year by far uh ain’t nothing like a little zag Jersey

And and you see that I was the original zero you know CB stole my number but it we’re not going to go too deep into that what what is the next what are you working towards right now like is trying to earn playoff minute something on your

Radar or are you like thinking further in the future I guess uh I mean right now uh I feel like go back to what worked uh you know just being prepared and and getting in here getting sh sets up and and you know just trying to be a

Sponge and absorb as much I can you know I’m not looking too deep into whether I’ll play or not that’s something that coach Malone will decide and and you know just will shape out through the rest of the season in the playoffs but you know my main thing is just

Continuing to grow here in the practice facility and and being with the guys and I mean I’m a rookie so I I got a lot to learn and and there’s a lot of opportunity to learn new things and and you just continue to grow as a person

And the play uh after Memphis cut to 15 there in the third quarter mil took pretty quick what was his message to you guys that St uh just to respect the game you know understand that you know we’re playing with a lead but that doesn’t

Mean that we can be lack a days of cool and you know just get rid of our you know core principles and just go out there and play ball you know we got to still P fourth quarter defense and lock in you know going into uh the latter

Stages of the game so that that was his main focus what do you uh think of the exact chances I love our chances I love our chances a lot we got to see earlier this year in Maui uh obviously we lost but but I think we can learn from that and

We’re playing our best ball right now you know it doesn’t matter if you peaking in November is if you peak in March so I think we peeking right now you and Christian watch that game together nah he didn’t want to watch that he knew what it was he just didn’t

Want to admit it going into it he he knew he knew he had that one in the bag he didn’t want to watch that with me fair enough apprciate
