Julian Strawther Full Post Game Press Conference vs. Clippers 🎙 | NBA Summer League

uh I feel like for the most part we did a decent job but at times we kind of just lost oursel on the glass especially we gave up way too many offensive rebounds and then early on we were so frantic in the first quarter turned the ball over a couple too many times but it’s something that we can clean up you personally how much more confident did it feel being out there this time around than last summer uh yeah it it was a completely different mindset of uh you know just trying to get your feet with compared to this year is trying to establish he and pro a point um yeah I felt I felt real good out there obviously shs didn’t fall things like that but that’s something that I can uh you know I can go on to the next game and be happy about my bad obviously sucks when when there’s an injury especially at the end of one of these games just what was kind of the mood with the rest of the guys it seemed like guys were trying to go over and and kind of give D yeah obviously just just uh just be a great teammate and that that’s a guy who came in obviously he’s new around here but he just brings such a positive energy so uh you know just being able to reciprocate the energy for him and and just be a great guy cramp you were dealing with in your left like there n unre unrelated to everything El I just got a camp cramp in the left calf and it just wouldn’t go away oh I mean this meant the world to me uh especially you know coming from a a winning program like Naga to be able to get drafted to a winning organization like Denver Nuggets and you know I feel like a lot of the core values that I have as a person aligns with what the values of the organization are so it’s been a blessing to be able to you know just put myself in this uh environment and everybody accept me uh and I mean coming home and playing in Vegas is is always one of my favorite things to do just because my family and friends get to come out and see me and uh I mean it’s always fun it’s always a good environment so I I love Vegas it’s always been a hoop Town how much have you grown I guess since even when you playing here and then going to Gaga and going to the Nuggets how much have you grown as a person and as a player in that aspect I mean it’s hard to even put in words I feel like even compared to last year here at Summer League stand in this exact spot I’m completely different person and player so um I mean it’s just a testament of of my environment and you know having having great people around me all the time seems like Trey was able to quickly find a Groove Off the Bench for you guys what what did you think he was able to do and how much how encouraging was it to see him get in that Rhythm for you guys oh yeah Trey’s a special player and he plays with a special confidence so uh I feel like he was able to get to his spots and even if the shot didn’t fall that mean it looked like Pro level moves and look like things that’ll translate to a real NBA game so I’m really excited with with with him and and you know being able to share the court with him some more we talked this week about you getting some reps as a point guard how did it feel out there handling the basketball uh I mean it felt good uh I mean it’s something that I’ve been working at and I feel comfortable doing obviously I had a turnover or two that that I got to clean up but I mean that’s that’s why we’re trying to here at the summer league and you know just to go through it and have the growing pain so that when it when it comes time in this in this real I’ll be ready what’s kind of the balance between expanding your game to some of that stuff especially with the ball and and refining the other aspects that you’ve been kind of working on as a rookie and even before that I mean at the end of the day the Denver Nuggets drafted me because of the player that I was that’s being a movement shooter and and a guy that that makes shots and hits floaters and things like that so and those are those are obviously aspects of my game that I’m going continue to to lock in and hone in on but at the end of the day uh I feel like expanding my game a little bit and you know playing with the ball a little bit more can can you know open up a lot of things for not only myself but for my teammates Hunter and gayen obviously got to play a lot together last year how much did that chemistry help early on and how much you feel like it’s going to keep benefiting you guys as you go on here in summer league yeah it’s something that I think we got to ride on a little bit more we got to uh rely on each other more than we did tonight uh but I mean it’s it’s the first game of Summer League uh it’s a really different environment to play basketball and I feel like people underestimate how weird of an environment it is I mean we warmed up for five minutes before the game but uh um yeah I feel like me Jaylen and Hunter got a got a play with each other a little bit more and we’ll have more success what else is weird about it uh I mean playing in the back gym no stands behind the uh basket is a little is a little weird it’s a screen behind the backboard so there’s colors in the backboard uh it’s a lot of things that are weird but I mean it’s basketball at the end of the day I mean I came here to hoop I know we talked about this last year because you’ve always had teammates that have showed up for you here but to see Christian Brown pton Watson Zeke Nagi what do that mean to you oh I mean it meant the world those are guys that that said months ago that they gonna be here front center watching me at summer league so for them to fulfill their word and come out and support me I mean it means the world
