SUMMER LEAGUE SOUND: COACH CHALMERS & JARRETT CULVER

awesome so coach what were you able to accomplish in today’s practice uh just getting a sweat in kind of going over some of the stuff we went we had a little um challenge of ball pressure so we kind of just gave him some things that we could do if that happens again uh but more more than anything just playing getting the sweat in and kind of getting the guys uh up and down a little bit is there something in particular that’s really stood out about your team to the first two games of Summer League uh we’re together we play hard we play together and and we want to win we’re competitive and uh we’re doing it together what have you seen from Jared Culver so far uh great player like he he understands what we need from him um he’s locked in uh he’s helping other guys and he knows what he does well and he’s doing it at a high level right now he obviously was a sixth overall pick in the past in the draft do you sense a certain mentality with him that he’s really trying hard to get back into the league uh he’s a he’s an NBA player uh he defends at a high level he knows the game he makes his open shots uh he knows when to S ped drive or he knows when to make the right play uh and he’s willing to guard the best player so like uh I think he’s an NBA player I know as we get deeper into summer league usually the guys on the back end of the bench will get more playing time how excited are you for those guys to have that opportunity once the time comes super excited especially because like they understand the situation and they they’ve been great so everyone deserves a chance you know everyone doesn’t always get an opportunity but they’re ready for it and if they get an opportunity I’m sure they’ll do well and we’ll still play it by year I guess who’s going to play who’s going to be out co co yeah yeah we’ll play it by year and see how it goes y so Jared uh what have been the main things that you’ve been looking to Showcase here at Summer League um for me it’s just getting involved with the team uh making sure I play my game just trying to do all the things whether it’s rebounding assist or scoring and then just helping some of the younger guys out I know I’ve been at Summer League before I’ve been in the league so helping some of the guys out just being a leader um being somebody who’s a little bit older for summer league I feel like being a leader for these younger guys uh could be very helpful how different of a player are you now compared to when you first got into the league uh I’m a much different player um I’m shooting way better I’m bigger I’m stronger and then just the experience I’ve had um I’ve grown a lot just understanding the game at that level the pick and rooll and then the defense assignments I just feel like I’ve been growing a lot so I’m a lot better and I I’m going to continue to get better have you learned about the magic organization during your time with them so far yeah the magic organization they’ve been great um they’ve showed a lot of love to me my family and just the people around me um the organization got a lot of great people in it the players the team it’s just it’s just fun like it feels like it’s supposed to feel how has uh coach Lon lachers helped you in sort of your development through your time with them so far say again I’m sorry how is lion chmer kind of helped you so far yeah he’s helped me um I mean he’s been at this level for a long time so just being able to pick his mind apart and seeing what he SE out there and then getting advice but also just picking each other Minds apart making sure we understand the game and when I’m out on the court um what I can do better or what I can do to help the team so it’s always that cant communication and for me I like when coaches communicate with their players um it’s the best thing to be able to have that open dialogue with players so um he’s been talking to me and it’s been very good and helpful for me I know a lot of Scouts obviously watching throughout Summer Lake what do you want them to know about you at this point of your career yeah I would just say I’m shooting a lot better um my form and just the way it’s going off my hands whether it goes in or not it’s just I’m shooting a lot better and then just I feel like I could be a great pce for any team uh especially Orlando I feel like coming here I feel like be a great defender for a team and then being able to play make and then shoot the three ball is always helpful thank
