“I’m Locked In. I’m Ready To Go.” | Jaylen Clark Summer League Sound | 07.14.24

oh yeah how’s it felt for two games here uh maybe last get your feet under you a little bit but feel out there uh yesterday was like a surreal feeling I was telling all the coaches like even though I didn’t do much it took like 3 qus for me to even realize like I’m really back playing if you get what I mean like it was just I was just out there smiling just running up and down I’m like okay bro you got to actually do something now so yesterday I mean two days ago that was like me all taking in today I told all the coaches I’m good I’m locked in like I’m ready to go so I came in here with a mission I made a bet one of our coaches I get more five Steals and then um I felt like I had more than six but uh we’ll leave it for up for discretion what’s the like year just kind of been like you know no one that you’ve had to sort of progress through this yeah um I think the thing that’s made it the hardest is no one seen my progress so I go places and everybody asked me a million questions and tried to like assume and guess but U it’s been a great year bro like I don’t regret anything that happened um if I don’t ter my ailles I don’t think I’m I’m in Minnesota currently at this moment so U I think everything happens for a reason I’m happy Tim caring them took a chance on me and I’m very grateful to be here in summer league with all the guys like this is a great group summer league group is great back at home with the Minnesota eight the real team is great you guys in Iowa are great like it’s just a whole great organization all around what’s the what’s the key to being somebody who gets a lot of STS whether you’re on ball with somebody or reading plays I’m more I’m more watch the ball I feel like some people on defense just play defense I’m really trying to play defense I’m looking to see different body languages I’m looking at footwork like I was up to 2: a.m. last night I watched the full Indiana Pacers games I’m rewinding I’m seeing in transition I’m seeing jar Walker puts in his left hand is he spinning or is he half spinning like I look at all those type of things so and really learning plays so like for ex if Johnny Fury comes down I know he’s shooting down on the other side like that little them little things help me cuz I know where he’s trying to get to so now I’m just trying to beat you to a spot you always like that yeah I I had to be like that you said I wasn’t playing man I went through my first two years I wasn’t playing and I always could play defense but um coach Cronin and them they helped me out a lot and I got a gift I can see things kind of before they happen what’s it like just offensively trying to get back up yeah I think it’ll come I’m not trying to be out here really forcing anything we got talented guys like TJ Rob and everything I let them do all the heavy lifting if I get a open shot I’m very capable now I’m knocking it down that’s how was going to be on the main team I’m never coming down in high he paid Anthony Edwards all that money already so I’m just trying to really just do what I think I’ll be doing if I get an opportunity to play with the the top team just plug and play I do need to rebound a little bit more and then outside of that I think I’ll be all right I would imagine the the shot is something that you were able to you know to work on even before you’re back like playing in games but I mean that was a part of your game you talked about wanting to to to work on what’s that been like oh great I’m with Moses every day and James White flight at night every night like shooting is not a concern for me no more there sometimes I still should just shoot it that I dribble but I think as time goes and everything I’ll learn how to do all that but I think I’m on a good trajectory right now I got a good staff behind me uh I had Charles hooks he helped me get back all the way back right now we got the Aaron and all them that help me too so it’s been great bro it’s been great overall you had how does the body feel yeah hell yeah that’s what I the first day too that was my big thing cuz I was looking at stuff that I normally would just shoot for and I wasn’t doing it cuz I was still kind of uh but today I was like actually I’m here if something happens it happens but I’m going for it

  1. Wow such a cool & humble. Incredibly smart, clearly a hard worker that’ll give it his all. The work he puts in the studying film. Dang.
    Also humble the way he talked about TJ & Rob just waiting for his chance. Wow! Love Iove love this guy!

  2. His self awareness in every interview since he’s been drafted has been incredible.

    He knows his path to heavy NBA minutes is to be a defensive stud who can knock down open looks.
