uh it’s been it’s been amazing for sure uh just trying to get used to everything the physicality the speed and everything but uh it’s been coming along pretty well but yeah do you have any expectations of what the coaches are looking for you to do in summer league when you’re down in Vegas uh coach really just want me to play defense and play make and play through the system but also be me so however it is he wants me to play he was telling me just play be me while running the plays and getting others invol so what’s that feeling like being a rookie and having the coach say we want you to be you we want you to be Rob oh I ain’t going to lie it helped me cuz I didn’t’t know what to expect when I my first few days practicing but when he actually sat and talked to me and told me that he wants me to be me while doing everything it just gives me more confidence to play freely cuz when you not when you don’t have confidence you can’t really play your game you’ll be nervous and not playing your game leads to you not making the right passes the same thing you always do so really him saying that just helped me like have more confidence and actually grow into myself how has learning the offense been have you guys been getting into kind of different sets and what your role look like on the team uh yeah we definitely run a few sets we’ve been running some sets they run different sets but nothing crazy just like certain stuff to get us into actions but he also was telling me just to learn how to run the set and then get into something so yeah when was it kind of real for you that you made it into the NBA you’re putting on that worlds Jersey uh I don’t know I I it still don’t feel real honestly I’m just here trying to get better every day and and learn from from the coaches and stuff so it still don’t feel real honestly maybe when we start playing with the team for real but and how’s the transition up to Minnesota been uh it’s been a great transition it’s a great City great people uh the team everybody’s cool the coaches they all believe in me so it’s been an easy transition it’s just now it’s just me getting comfortable everybody got to get comfortable in their own space so just trying to get comfortable for sure have you been able to touch base with ants or other starters and teammates that you might be playing with on the main roster yeah I talked to a few players Mike cat uh Jay McDaniel a few players Rudy and yeah what’s the best advice they’ve given you so far uh really I was talking to um Mike about defense cuz he came in as a small guard so really just like sitting him one way cuz when you send them both ways it’s like they can do whatever and NBA players they’re good so you got to have at least cut off one side and play them straight up so really just playing one side and also giving extra effort awesome thank you that’s sir thank youall
