Yves Missi talks debut vs. Timberwolves | 2024 NBA Summer League Postgame
I mean I really liked this first game just TR like getting used to play with each other as a new team so it’s pretty good and what’s really been the message from the coaches so far about what they want to see from you just run on the floor play hard all I tried to do dive on the floor try to get every rebound there are there big men in the NBA you know you like especially watch and you’re like oh I can take stuff from from that guy and try to put it in my game or anything like that I mean almost everyone Jordan be uh dere L Yi just everyone just to passing from yish uh Dr and B postar just everything to be honest how would you evaluate your play tonight things that you might want to work on going forward uh I would say uh be more one defense and uh probably trigger more uh more blocks obviously and uh beside it also the pace uh especially with the guards I feel like at some point we’re going a little too fast in pick and roll and everything so you just go slow it down and then I think you’ll be fine yeah coach miles talks a lot about the physicality that the Timberwolves brought how did you feel out there with that I mean it was good I mean I liked it I mean I wasn’t really complaining about it I liked it I was also trying to be physical should go for the rebound just fighting he basketball so that’s and what’s it been like just kind of get to know uh Reeves and Jordan Haw and some of the other young guys that you know going to be on the the real team which y’all get to October it’s good I mean they the great people just being around them bounding with them it’s pretty cool and just for you going through the summer what’s going to be the focus for you to make sure you’re ready you know once the regular season comes around obviously uh Wy Mo way Tom uh just learn from old guy just taking our from Carlo all these guys and then putting hard you’re you’re like a big in today’s NBA I mean how does how does it big impact the game defensively besides just blocking shots and and the obvious stuff that we think of uh I would say communication is a big thing just show you that you’re here to help at some point you just you don’t only have to some block shots even someone is driving just show your presence and then go back on your guy are kind of set that can help defense beside BL shot obviously

He has to hit the weight room.
What a neat name – Yves — let's GEAUX PELS!!!
Not off to a great start. Was built up to be an athletic big but looked anything but. The whole team struggled so maybe that was an issue
Gotta be more physical. Gotta be more aggressive. Needs more confidence. Played a little too timid.
Trade for a starting center
You did good for your first time in the nba and you only been playing basketball I think for about 6 years way to go, keep building and moving forward don’t let up big man you’ll find yo way for sure 💪🏾⚜️🏀
