Naji Marshall on offensive strides, Trey Murphy’s recent efficiency | Pelicans Practice 3/12/2024

What do you really like about what y’all was doing on defensive he competing at a high level um playing a great team defense everybody’s on one page and um just communicating at a high level and just got each other’s back now this probably going to be a second season

Where Brandon uh leads the team in assist what do you just think about you know how what he is as a playmaker as a passer for this team um I think he just shows that he’s more than just a score um he did it once and he doing it twice

So now he’s proving it um he just puts the work in you know he watches the game so you know he already makes a play in his head before it even happens so just to see it come to life on the floor just a testimony how much work get this one

Off what do you think about him just understanding like okay team needs me to score right now I’m going to do it right now and then you know my team needs be more of a passive just that kind of pushing forward like I said just a

Testimony to his love for the game him just knowing the game so well slow of the game understanding it and just you know pting us with him and you’re obviously known for your defense but what have you done to kind of make improvements on the offensive end this

Year more contributions on that end um just you know my love for the game as well this summer I put in a lot of work excuse me over the years I have as well so you know just you know believing in my work and just letting the the dice

Roll from there did you know coming into the NBA like how important the catch and shoot three would be for you oh most definitely you already know when Train’s as efficient as he has been recently what does that add to this team offensively oh man it makes it

Unbelievable hard to guard um you know little space that z and b play with already and able to do what they do and not being able to do that now that we have TR on the floor and even sorry even her you know uh Jose me it just makes

The game a lot easier I asked coach if you guys were a contender and he kind of danced around it a little bit what do you say I mean I’m not going to say no uh that’s what we work for uh I believe in my guys and um that’s at the end of

The day our goal so definitely think for sure do you think the league is receiving you guys differently now is maybe a team that can get there um I don’t think so um I don’t think they ever looked at as any different for for real so to begin with I think that

Uh we just go out there and compete every day and we just surprise people and we continue to do it and they just continue to act surprise so by by pretty much every measurement you guys are one of the best if not the best bench in the

NBA statistically um what do you think of the the impact that you guys have made and the fact that you have a bunch of guys that have actually played together for a few years now and how much that helps I mean coming in as a young guy you know that’s kind of your

Dream you know that’s what they kind of Express to make an impact Off the Bench you know they already kind of got their core gu so just to be able to do that and then you know with other guys like Jose who’s undrafted you know murf who’s been through some tribulations and Dyson

As well just unbelievable and like you said a dream and true that we can do that how much confidence are y’all coming inight tonight knowing that y’all can make an impact once that definitely just confident in our game as a whole so every night you know we come

In we know we have a chance to win and um we’re all on the same page follow the game plan and just go out there and execute and play hard definitely is a high high high confidence the Cavs come in um I know that Moy has missed a couple games but

Obviously they have him and and Jared Allen what’s the biggest thing that you kind of have to look for when going against like the Twin Towers over there um definitely box out um limit to to one shot um space the floor cuz you know clog up the

Paint they can come through affect the shot so and you know just keep them moving you know those are the big guys so trying to keep them away from the real so we can get our attacks and stuff like that thanks
