00:00 He's almost impossible to guard.
00:02 My first time guarding him really was in training camp.
00:05 It was one of like in the first weekend.
00:07 I went up against him and I was playing great defense.
00:09 I thought it was great defense and he finished two left hand layups on me and
00:13 I'm there like it was nothing else I could do.
00:15 I don't think anybody else could have guarded any better.
00:17 And I mean, he made both of those and I was like, like, what am I supposed to do?
00:21 So, I mean, his just kind of ability to, you know, use his length and
00:26 kind of use angles and his change of direction.
00:30 I don't know. He's got a lot. It's kind of hard to explain.
00:32 I don't even know.
00:33 Is it pretty, is defending him pretty unique compared to other like lead guys?
00:38 It's very unique because, I mean, not too long ago I was talking to somebody
00:42 about just his quickness, like how fast of a player he is.
00:45 And I was like, you know, he's not the fastest player.
00:48 He's not super quick and he's not trying to like, I don't know,
00:52 like his change of direction is at his pace and he just plays, you know,
00:55 he doesn't play sped up, he doesn't get sped up.
00:57 And, I mean, he's just able to kind of get to the basket at ease, you know,
01:01 regardless of how you try and guard him.
01:02 So, he's definitely one of the tougher guards, you know, in the league for sure.
