Herb Jones on Orlando Magic defense, Larry Nance Jr. | Pelicans vs. Magic Shootaround 4/3/24

Yeah we saw the Suns kind of Park um you know nerkish in the lane on you guys and you know I know that’s coverage you guys have seen before what are some things you guys talked about when teams are just going to pack the paint like that

Against y’all just keep the ball moving um continue to trust in the offense and and continue to be aggressive uh I think we we didn’t do a great job of keeping the ball moving we watched the film and I think we learned from it to just drive a kick basically and if if

That what the game gives us uh I you can move the ball without driving the ball you know so after after watching the film I I think we we walked away from it uh feeling pretty good Orlando is second in the NBA and defense from playing against them and from what you’ve seen

On film and stuff like that what what do you think has made them such a good defensive team that’s a lot of guys on that side with like size uh I guess which enables them to switch a lot of stuff which I mean we all know keeps the

Ball out of the paint so we just got to find ways to to get in the paint and make the the defense collapse the NBA put out a thing yesterday that Larry Nance is a finalist for teammate of the year what what do you think are some of

The reasons why he was chosen as like a nominee for that award I mean he’s a great guy um I was kind of I wasn’t surprised at all but I I I was asking the question on how to to be a finalist for that I feel like I’m a pretty good team

But obviously Larry’s a better teammate than I am so I kind of aspire to be you know a name on that list one day um but I mean Larry’s you know he’s a he’s a great guy man he’s always uh bringing the positive energy uh saying what needs

To be said when it needs to be said I mean he’s always you know unapologetically him you have a marketing campaign this year for you for all first team all defense maybe next year they could do a teammate of the Year campaign for you yeah I’m not too big into the campaigns

But if they decide to do it I’m for it well what did you think about the t-shirts today that everyone’s wear it’s cool I thought it was a little bit too much but I’m I’m happy my teammates you know and the entire organization is is pushing the first team defense
