Q5 Team connectivity and unselfishness
What is it about this team?
I mean, a lot of people talk about connectivity, unselfishness. When you look at this group and just the way that you've been able to come together in this early start.
I just think it's unselfishness. We're on a team with absolutely no ego. Nobody on the team has ego, and I've never played on a basketball team like that. For my whole career, and I've been playing basketball for a long time. So I think that's what it is for us.
Q15 Behind the quick lopsided starts
Can you speak to all the— I mean, obviously these all end up as lopsided scores, but it's these quick starts. Like, you're up 15 again and feels like you guys are already up double digits before the other team even knows what happens. How was that happening?
Yeah, we just kind of try to come out with as much energy as possible because like I said, we have so many good players on the bench that we can play as hard as we can. We could get tired and there will be fresh bodies that are just as good as us coming in.
Q18 L.J. Cason's progress recently
And you've really seen L.J., where have you seen him progress most in recent weeks?
I just think, I think on defense he progressed a lot. He's really talented offensively, but me and him been trying to push ourselves defensively because we feel like we're the head of the snake on defense because we have to pick up the ball. We try to set the tone for everybody.
