Q4 Running the offense as hub
Mike was just talking a minute ago, your coach, about, about when Elliot and Trey were in foul trouble, you almost felt comfortable having you have the offense run through you. Is that a role you feel comfortable in? Do you have experience being the kind of hub of an offense in that sense?
Yeah, I definitely feel comfortable being the hub of an offense. I feel like at LSU, I wasn't able to show it much, but it was kind of my role there as well. So I feel comfortable being somebody that can help get the offense running, get it flowing, get the ball going to both sides of the floor and get the team moving and in positions to score.
Q7 Current health level
But where are you health-wise, percentage-wise? You getting pretty close?
Yeah, really close. I think I'm cleared to play without a minute restriction this weekend, so that's very encouraging for me. I would say health-wise, I'm easily 90, 95% plus. I'm ready to go.
Q12 Early exhibition game review
How would you evaluate just how things went for you in the first couple exhibition games and what you think you've been doing well here in your role and what you plan on expanding on as well?
I don't think I played well as of yet, but I didn't necessarily expect to come out dominant. I didn't necessarily feel as comfortable as I have in the past on the floor, but it's all part of the process. I'm not discouraged or very encouraged by how I'm playing. I'm just grateful that I was able to play and able to experience this environment and play in front of a crowd and share the floor with my teammates.
That was all what was most important to me. But moving forward, I think I'll be a lot more comfortable as the games go on, as I get back understanding of my role and what the team expects of me. So I see myself building on the exhibitions, but I don't— I'm not too happy about how I played, but I know I'll be happy about my later on performances for sure.
