00:00What were the guys gonna come in looking like?

00:03I challenged everybody to a man in a very direct way

00:07that we need a B, at least on a fitness base.

00:10And I think we can deliver you to an A

00:13with the runway that we have.

00:14He did that handsome.

00:16And, you know, you forget like his size at times,

00:21you forget his ability to pass at times.

00:24He's very clever, like very Euro Bellinelli,

00:30with floaters and different reads on things.

00:34And I think all of that has been realized

00:37in a pronounced way this season.

00:39And we're gonna ask him to keep that going in the playoffs.

00:43We need his ability to shoot the ball

00:47and in general score, I'm sure, in many ways,

00:54once especially the playoffs come around.

00:57I know also when he was here,

01:01I had a lot of chance to watch him, you know,

01:03to see what is he doing, how he plays.

01:05Because I told like, I can have some of his skills,

01:09you know, I try to copy something from him.

01:13I think he's a good shooter, elite shooter.

01:15We all know that.

01:17He helped me a lot.

01:17Also, he was trying to teach me when he was here,

01:20like JJ, he was kind of the guy,

01:22like he tried to help the young guys.

01:24And then also that was a good opportunity

01:25for me to work with him.
