Q1 Lobs to the bigs in offense

From you and other guys to the bigs. Is that going to be a feature of this offense?

Yeah, definitely. We'll probably have at least 3 people at all times on the court that can catch a lob. I feel like we're really big and athletic, so that'll be a very big thing for us, throwing lobs.

Q10 Emphasis on pushing transition

How much of an emphasis on transition do you put?

It's a really big part of my game. I think I'm really fast. I think my quickness is something that sets me apart from people. And transition has been a big emphasis, especially since we have a lot of depth and we have a lot of great players off the bench. We'll be able to like sub fresh bodies, so we'll just be fast all the time and we'll just be energetic all the time. And transition should be our advantage every game.

Q19 Defense as a team identity

Dusty May talked a little bit about defense being one of your main identities of the team. Can you talk a little bit about that yourself and other members of the team?

Yeah, I think, uh, we all have pride on defense. I think we'll be very special defensively, and we have a lot of players that can guard 1 through 5, and we'll do a lot of switching. And sometimes we'll have, um, like lineups on the court where everybody's over 6'5", everybody's huge. So I think defensively we could be really special this year.
