Coach Munson Full Post Game Press Conference vs. Clippers 🎙 | NBA Summer League

I mean I love the effort guys played really really hard uh did a lot of good things uh we got to clean up obviously the rebounding we had a ton of possessions where we flew around had great defensive possessions I just couldn’t finish with the rebound especially in that fourth quarter um and then offensively um I probably got to do a a little bit better job getting us into some more off ball stuff against you know they were switching everything so kind of took us out of some of our picking roles that that uh we’ve been working on so did you learn anything about yourself being in that position in in your first live game um it still feels like a bit of a blur so maybe ask me again tomorrow morning but um I mean it was a ton of fun I I I really enjoyed it and like I’ve been saying all week it’s also super challenging um but I had a lot of help with with all my coaches on the bench so appreciate that for sure for the players that were returning for their second summer league Hunter Jaylen Julian how would you evaluate their performance yeah again uh the effort was there for sure um um I think uh I could I could do a better job helping some of those guys get to their spots a little bit um better job attacking the way they were guarding us um so I think they weren’t really able to get to their spots because of their all their switching and uh that’s where I got to help them out and be a little bit better for Julian is it is it as easy as saying that confidence and the extra reps that he gets he looks more confident now with his shot than even when he at times when he was here when he was at Gonzaga is it just more just confidence reps that has allowed him to get comfortable like that yeah for sure I mean I think he’s been a pretty confident guy but he’s been working like crazy really for the you know better part of a year he hasn’t really taken any time off so he’s had all the Reps he’s had all the work and I mean the guy’s crazy talented so you know he’s why wouldn’t you be confident right so um I love the way he played tonight really aggressive obviously he was a huge part of our offense and look forward to seeing that the rest of the week what do you see from him sort of in the off the bounce kind of stuff that you were talking about throughout the week where were there areas that you really liked what he was doing at areas where you kind of see he can improve in that too what what’s kind of the what did you see overall uh yeah I think he was really good he was one of the guys that uh was able to break down the defense a little bit when they were switching so uh you know when they’re guarding us like that you don’t NE necessarily see all the reads and everything but uh he was able to kind of get downhill break some of the their bigs down when they switched and uh so that was good to see and he’s obviously really good when he can get get to the rim how has it helped him as far as developing as a person as a player being in this organization that’s developed a winning culture uh I think a lot I think he uh I mean he’s a really sharp kid so he you know picked up right away I mean they went a Summer League last year he knew exactly what we were doing he’s fitting great um so he’s exactly exactly the kind of guy that that we want to bring in that Cal keeps bringing in and um yeah he’s fitting great and he’s really he fits in well with our culture and obviously I think being in a championship culture is help will help anybody how do you evaluate jaylen’s game tonight uh yeah I think uh I think he played with really good Pace I think again uh I have to do a better job you know when they’re switching like he’s such a good pick and roll player right when the Big’s in coverage he can make all those reads and that’s where he’s at his best uh but I could have helped him get into some better spots uh maybe against some mismatches in the post uh so he can play make a little bit um but I thought he was really good with his Pace really good on the bench just in kind of in a leadership role organizing his team um so look to keep uh seeing that this week it’s obvious pretty demoralizing when Don goes down so late in the game you guys have a quick turnaround to Sunday I mean what’s kind of the message to the guys as you know they see a teammate go down you got to got to get back at it in about 48 Hours yeah I mean uh obviously really tough um and is we really misses rebounding obviously down the stretch um but yeah just the message is you know we were right there we had every chance to win the game our defense was really good just we’ll we’ll go back watch the film tomorrow afternoon and uh and clean up all those things you guys have a diagnosis for him yet uh no I haven’t heard anything yet you know exactly what uh what you saw from from him at kraton um just the ability to get his own shot really helps when they’re switching like that I know I’ve been talking about that the whole interview but uh and then he really stepped up for us um just a really really mature player never gets rushed uh and a guy you can just trust out there so looking forward to seeing more of him said he wasn’t too happy with his game but I mean do you kind of like to see the competitiveness and almost chippiness from him down the stretch in one of these games and just sort of the way that he treats it I guess oh of course I mean that’s what you love about Hunter Tyson I mean yeah he can shoot he can do all these things off on the court but he’s gotten here because his of his competitive nature and like you said that the way he approaches the game so um you know talking to him I you know I thought he he had really good moments but you know he doesn’t want to hear any of it cuz we lost which is exactly what you want so just going back to Trey Trey quickly I mean how encouraging is to see him to see him look so comfortable kind of right from the jump as for a rookie like that uh yeah very encouraging I mean he comes from a great program at kraton um my old high school coach Jeffrey andero coaches coaches there so um I’ve been watching a lot of kraton watch a lot of Trey and uh but yeah really encouraging uh you can tell he comes from a great program and it’s he hasn’t missed a beat since he’s gotten here he’s picked up everything really quick and to come out in your first Summer League game and not play rushed like that and be that under control was was pretty impressive
