“Everyone here has gotten used to watching OG play defense and… while I’m not that… he’s one of the best defenders I’ve ever seen… I want to get better on that side and show myself what I can do.”

hope he can spend time to fix whatever health issue keeps him out of back to backs. was it knee?
A new prince of the north?
Hope he wins a gold medal too
Hopefully that “working on shooting” also means free throws – RJ was brutal from the line during his first couple of months here
I can’t overstate how much I love this kid. Great work ethic, great attitude, always gives his best and gives a shit.
Love RJ
So he wants to work on basketball?
Can’t wait to watch him and Kelly and the boys this summer in France!
Pascal’s hard work ethic and nice guy vibes replaced by RJ
I’ll keep saying this, while this season was terrible we might look back on this as the start of something special. Scottie RJ and Quickly. I really like this big 3.
RJ’s gonna come back as top 2 and he’s not going to be 2
Ya, OG was a great defender but we have to remember. OG was injured that championship year. There were parts of that team that were taken away after Kawhi left and never replaced.
I’d like for him to extend his range and volume of shots from 3. I know he shoots 3s OK, but he doesn’t shoot them at a modern NBA rate and I feel like the modern NBA is an arm’s race when it comes to which teams shoot the most 3s at the best efficiency
So he wants to get better on every aspect of the game? Well I sure hope so.
