I loved it um I’m not going to lie the first the first half pounding Jitters you saw I was slipping the ball turn my turnovers but um I think I settled down a little bit in the second half um you know just took some shots I needed to take you know defensively I feel like I did pretty well hold my own so the big thing for me is finding the positives and everything um don’t try to be hard on yourself I feel like I did a lot of my younger age so just being positive whatever I can do and just you know working on whatever I can couple games have a day off so get to watch the film and see what we can do next like you landed kind of op there yeah I caugh I caught a cramp I caught a cramp in my C yeah a little Camp first cramp I ever caught so it’s all it’s all good though it’s all good though right leg Yeah uh left left leg but it’s all good your cat yeah cuz I was like H nah no it was it was good it was good I’m I’m all good what would you like to build on hit from this performance heading into the next I think just keep stacking as a as a team um just keep stacking stops um you know I think they got on us a little bit I think we had some laps I think we had some good really good defensive possessions um in the beginning and you know offens rebounding was a tough for us they kind of beat us on that and getting getting out in transition was a good thing for them so you know stopping that next game and then offensively you know just moving the ball um you know when they switch got to figure out way to get get going to that you know just continue to be aggressive um continue to be aggressive offensively defensively impact the game in different ways not just cor a basketball whatever I I can do I know you and Oso had mentioned David’s leadership how has he been helping you guys out in terms of this process and just keeping your heads on with all the stuff that’s going on he’s been he’s been good I talked to him just after the game I said is this how you felt after your first game he like yep he said yeah so um he understands that like we’re rookies and you know we’re learning on the Fly you know having this type of I want to say pressure but having type of responsibility is kind of big but he’s a guy that you know we can build on a lot and I think he’s going to help us a lot what felt the most different from the college environment to this kind of exhibition style the speed the speed was the spe was crazy you know like there was times where we scor and they got it out down the court you know they’re coming off ball screens um transition was a big thing for me so that’s the thing that you know just want to get acclimated to that to get the spacing down you know just taking just figure out what got to do so on the 43 you took a up three um off the dribble there the ball screen is that something that you’re trying to implement more into your game yeah yeah obviously um you know just taking the shots I need to take you know off the three make or Miss um continue to shooting I think I shot it pretty well today if you know it didn’t go in my shots felt good um so just keep shooting now um off the ball you know catching shoots whenever I’m open or contested but also making the right plays don’t try to be shot heavy but you know keep doing what I was doing but keep being aggressive that way you talked about your kind of pounding in the first half but the second half you seem to kind of settle down and and find your group yeah that’s why I said uh first half it was first little half Jitters in the NBA um but you know I kind of just took a deep breath said all right we’re here now just continue to play Slow the pace down slow the game down you know just find ways just to get myself going I think I did that how important you just to keep taking the like even though you didn’t make more how important you just to continue to do that it’s getting reps it’s the same thing that everyone everyone’s been telling me to do just continue to get reps so you know I got a lot of reps in the pre-draft got a lot ofs in the draft um got lots in practice I’m now in game in summer league right now just keeping getting them up if I don’t hit one I’m going to keep keep shooting them um also make the right play as much as I can you talked about that feeling playing your first game how nice was it to be sharing in that with Oso as well we were we were talking even also Jaylen eveny you know it was our first games together too um so we were all trying to little Jitter at first you know getting them out but I think we all we all did well we showed flashes as well so you know now we know we’re getting ourselves into the second game so Contin to build on that also had hard trap there I mean I don’t I don’t know you know Marquette and Virginia Defense we we should have had that um but it’s the NBA he was a vet so I give him that but yeah no problem thank you
