Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,399
chat obviously not being able to play
2
00:00:02,399 --> 00:00:04,259
this season but being able to be inside
3
00:00:04,259 --> 00:00:06,359
the group inside the team just what was
4
00:00:06,359 --> 00:00:08,519
this like from your perspective oh yeah
5
00:00:08,519 --> 00:00:10,440
obviously it's it looked a lot different
6
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,280
than uh you know what was expected
7
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,740
um but I just you know tried to work
8
00:00:16,740 --> 00:00:19,500
with what I was given and make sure that
9
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:21,720
I was staying within the team uh and you
10
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,580
know my focus was on the team and trying
11
00:00:23,580 --> 00:00:26,420
to help them succeed
12
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:28,920
what did you learn the most uh even
13
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,420
though you were playing what you learned
14
00:00:30,420 --> 00:00:32,159
the most about the NBA and what you need
15
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,140
to know going forward
16
00:00:34,140 --> 00:00:35,880
uh I don't think I could you know sum it
17
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,320
up to just one thing
18
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,719
there's there's a lot I learned I was
19
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:43,200
able to watch uh I had like a front row
20
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,160
seat to
21
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:46,680
uh the class of getting buckets every
22
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,200
night you know watching Shea go out
23
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,539
there and all the other dudes too and
24
00:00:51,539 --> 00:00:54,059
you know other teams as well uh it was
25
00:00:54,059 --> 00:00:56,280
it was it was great for me to be able to
26
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,399
watch uh how other teams play uh
27
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:01,440
different styles uh different personnel
28
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,080
and really be able to kind of pick up as
29
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,479
much as I can from that and uh you know
30
00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:07,920
uh
31
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,960
kind of take down all the knowledge so I
32
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:12,060
can use it going forward so where are
33
00:01:12,060 --> 00:01:13,920
you at physically now and how much are
34
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,159
you able to do on the court uh I'm
35
00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:21,540
pretty much uh past the rehab part of
36
00:01:21,540 --> 00:01:24,200
this uh
37
00:01:24,619 --> 00:01:27,960
journey I guess you could say uh now I'm
38
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:30,900
progressing more into the five on five
39
00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:35,520
stuff and kind of uh taken away uh any
40
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,439
restrictions that I have to this point
41
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:39,299
do you feel close to where you were
42
00:01:39,299 --> 00:01:43,560
pre-injury uh in terms of
43
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,320
physically athletically like feel like
44
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:48,119
you can play like you did before you got
45
00:01:48,119 --> 00:01:50,820
hurt uh yeah you know I feel feel great
46
00:01:50,820 --> 00:01:52,979
I've had a great uh Team around me
47
00:01:52,979 --> 00:01:56,340
helping me get back to you know a great
48
00:01:56,340 --> 00:01:58,979
point and there's been a great plan in
49
00:01:58,979 --> 00:02:00,299
place and you know I feel like I
50
00:02:00,299 --> 00:02:02,880
followed that to a T and uh you know
51
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,740
it's got me in a gray spot
52
00:02:04,740 --> 00:02:07,740
being being on the floor what did you
53
00:02:07,740 --> 00:02:10,080
miss most about being out
54
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,379
what I miss most about being
55
00:02:13,379 --> 00:02:15,120
like not playing
56
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,160
um
57
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,379
uh it's a lot of things obviously like
58
00:02:19,379 --> 00:02:21,540
you said the toughest part is is just
59
00:02:21,540 --> 00:02:23,520
not playing but um I'm a pretty
60
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,620
competitive guy so not having kind of
61
00:02:25,620 --> 00:02:28,620
competitive Outlet uh that you know I'm
62
00:02:28,620 --> 00:02:31,200
accustomed to it was definitely tough
63
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,360
um you know just trying to find other
64
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,239
ways to kind of stay competitive in
65
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:38,220
other areas while I'm not able to play
66
00:02:38,220 --> 00:02:40,920
basketball was kind of a tough thing
67
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:42,840
it's very too far out but do you plan on
68
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,660
playing in summer league at all uh
69
00:02:45,660 --> 00:02:47,640
uh you know right now I'm focused on
70
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:49,500
following the plan that we have in place
71
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:52,560
and uh you know if
72
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,180
when that time comes that's part of the
73
00:02:54,180 --> 00:02:58,620
plan uh you know I'll uh follow the plan
74
00:02:58,620 --> 00:03:00,360
like I have up to this point
75
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,220
um but right now I'm focused on on the
76
00:03:02,220 --> 00:03:04,140
plan that I have here in the near future
77
00:03:04,140 --> 00:03:06,720
and we'll figure that out as we go you
78
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,360
didn't get to play for him but I mean
79
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,099
what's your thoughts on Mark this
80
00:03:11,099 --> 00:03:12,840
evening
81
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:13,620
um
82
00:03:13,620 --> 00:03:16,860
coach of the year right finals yeah
83
00:03:16,860 --> 00:03:19,260
I think it should be kosher here but
84
00:03:19,260 --> 00:03:21,540
um yeah I think that's all I gotta say I
85
00:03:21,540 --> 00:03:24,500
think it should be coach of the year
86
00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:26,519
fellow rookies kind of go out there and
87
00:03:26,519 --> 00:03:30,420
do their thing dub and will and booze uh
88
00:03:30,420 --> 00:03:31,980
it was great
89
00:03:31,980 --> 00:03:34,140
um being able to watch the strides that
90
00:03:34,140 --> 00:03:35,580
they'd made over the course of the
91
00:03:35,580 --> 00:03:37,019
season and all the work that they put in
92
00:03:37,019 --> 00:03:38,940
it was great to watch you know that pay
93
00:03:38,940 --> 00:03:40,500
off for them
94
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:41,220
um
95
00:03:41,220 --> 00:03:43,440
not only for you know my fellow rookies
96
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:44,700
but all my teammates you know everybody
97
00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:47,040
worked hard this year and and made you
98
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,500
know huge improvements and uh you know
99
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:51,720
it kind of paid off in in the win column
100
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,680
for us uh as well as you know just our
101
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,140
ability as individuals and as a team uh
102
00:03:58,140 --> 00:04:00,360
you know we made great strides together
103
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,580
does the success of the team make you
104
00:04:02,580 --> 00:04:05,580
even more like anxious to get out there
105
00:04:05,580 --> 00:04:07,140
with them knowing that you can
106
00:04:07,140 --> 00:04:08,819
contribute to like a pretty high level
107
00:04:08,819 --> 00:04:11,040
team already
108
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,019
um
109
00:04:13,019 --> 00:04:14,340
uh
110
00:04:14,340 --> 00:04:17,180
I feel like
111
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:21,238
I feel like that doesn't change it too
112
00:04:21,238 --> 00:04:24,540
much you know I just feel like uh
113
00:04:24,540 --> 00:04:26,160
pretty anxious to get out there and
114
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,020
obviously play with my teammates and you
115
00:04:28,020 --> 00:04:29,639
know do whatever I can to help them win
116
00:04:29,639 --> 00:04:33,360
obviously uh you know it's great that uh
117
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,660
this group of guys was able to uh you
118
00:04:36,660 --> 00:04:38,759
know exceed
119
00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:40,919
um kind of expectations going into the
120
00:04:40,919 --> 00:04:43,680
year and uh you know really put together
121
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,540
a great season
122
00:04:45,540 --> 00:04:47,880
um but I don't think it changes how
123
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,320
anxious I am to you know get out there
124
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,639
and play with these guys
125
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:54,120
speaking to your eagerness of trying to
126
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,580
get back out there you created quite a
127
00:04:56,580 --> 00:05:00,120
stir with the free seven post what can
128
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,699
you sort of explain that to us uh yeah
129
00:05:02,699 --> 00:05:04,020
that's just kind of going back to what
130
00:05:04,020 --> 00:05:06,120
he said just uh a guy who's anxious to
131
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,400
play uh you know we all know uh I love
132
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,199
to play basketball and kind of that's
133
00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:13,320
just me thinking uh forward to you know
134
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,460
when I'm able to play again
135
00:05:16,460 --> 00:05:18,900
speaking of Instagram captions there's
136
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:21,360
been some discussions on if Shea comes
137
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,979
up with his Instagram captions or if
138
00:05:22,979 --> 00:05:27,020
maybe Drake or an outside force does was
139
00:05:27,740 --> 00:05:31,080
uh he does do him on his own
140
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,699
um
141
00:05:32,699 --> 00:05:35,820
he kind of like uh sometimes he'll just
142
00:05:35,820 --> 00:05:37,199
like
143
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:39,240
uh be around the team and kind of joke
144
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,400
around and then come up with one and
145
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,340
sometimes you know uh he'll just come up
146
00:05:44,340 --> 00:05:46,740
with on completely on his own um
147
00:05:46,740 --> 00:05:49,500
but yeah maybe when he's retired he'll
148
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:52,820
be like a poet or something I don't know
149
00:05:53,820 --> 00:05:55,380
um
150
00:05:55,380 --> 00:05:57,960
uh
151
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,199
I don't remember them all word for word
152
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:03,720
um but he's had a few good ones so it's
153
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,699
probably hard to pick one
154
00:06:05,699 --> 00:06:07,220
what did you learn about the thunder
155
00:06:07,220 --> 00:06:09,479
through this year you know you kind of
156
00:06:09,479 --> 00:06:12,120
got to be inside the walls what did you
157
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,440
learn about just the team the
158
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,580
organization
159
00:06:14,580 --> 00:06:17,580
uh I knew coming in uh that this was a
160
00:06:17,580 --> 00:06:19,740
great organization with great people and
161
00:06:19,740 --> 00:06:21,660
it was really well run but that was kind
162
00:06:21,660 --> 00:06:23,940
of just uh reaffirmed uh after going
163
00:06:23,940 --> 00:06:26,280
through this whole season and uh not
164
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:27,600
only the way they took care of me and
165
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,400
helped me but you know the way they
166
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,020
handle everybody who comes through the
167
00:06:31,020 --> 00:06:32,400
building
168
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,100
um and the way they do business it's all
169
00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:39,120
around uh you know just no issues and uh
170
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,160
you know they do it the right way as
171
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,780
you're watching the team are there like
172
00:06:42,780 --> 00:06:44,280
specific things that you're watching
173
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:46,500
like oh I could help in this area or I
174
00:06:46,500 --> 00:06:49,139
could really feel like this Gap that's
175
00:06:49,139 --> 00:06:51,300
kind of being left you know by the team
176
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:52,680
on the court yeah yeah that's part of
177
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,740
analyzing the game as I'm watching
178
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,000
um just
179
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,580
trying to understand like I said before
180
00:06:59,580 --> 00:07:01,139
how other teams are playing how we're
181
00:07:01,139 --> 00:07:04,620
playing and uh kind of visualize and and
182
00:07:04,620 --> 00:07:06,720
think about how you know I could be in
183
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,960
there uh in certain situations and and
184
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,479
uh you know how I would you know play
185
00:07:12,479 --> 00:07:15,060
that situation or affect that situation
186
00:07:15,060 --> 00:07:16,860
um that's definitely a big part of it
187
00:07:16,860 --> 00:07:18,960
besides mentally what do you think that
188
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,699
you improved on like is there anything
189
00:07:20,699 --> 00:07:22,560
like any aspect like on the court that
190
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,940
you feel like you were able to improve
191
00:07:23,940 --> 00:07:26,460
on over the course of this year oh yeah
192
00:07:26,460 --> 00:07:29,520
yeah um obviously like you said mentally
193
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,099
watching a lot of the game uh you're
194
00:07:32,099 --> 00:07:34,440
able to pick up on a lot of things but
195
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:35,400
um
196
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,979
I never really had the time to just kind
197
00:07:37,979 --> 00:07:42,720
of rework uh my shot and uh really have
198
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,060
the time and the the focus to put into
199
00:07:45,060 --> 00:07:46,259
it
200
00:07:46,259 --> 00:07:48,300
um you know I've taken pride in my
201
00:07:48,300 --> 00:07:50,880
ability to shoot the basketball and
202
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,800
um I feel like I've done it pretty well
203
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,620
up to this point in my career but
204
00:07:55,620 --> 00:07:57,960
um you know I'm kind of on the Journey
205
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,479
of trying to be a an elite shooter so I
206
00:08:00,479 --> 00:08:01,860
was able to really put in a lot of work
207
00:08:01,860 --> 00:08:04,979
with my shot and uh and you know make it
208
00:08:04,979 --> 00:08:07,620
even uh more effective Chad coming off
209
00:08:07,620 --> 00:08:09,360
this injury how do you find the balance
210
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,240
between ramping up and kind of like I
211
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,620
don't know staying safe throughout this
212
00:08:13,620 --> 00:08:15,120
injury process because obviously you're
213
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,380
not going to Bubble Wrap yourself over
214
00:08:16,380 --> 00:08:17,699
the summer you're gonna work and try to
215
00:08:17,699 --> 00:08:18,900
get better but at the same time you
216
00:08:18,900 --> 00:08:21,000
can't be I guess out there Reckless
217
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,039
doing whatever that makes sense yeah
218
00:08:23,039 --> 00:08:25,860
that comes down to uh
219
00:08:25,860 --> 00:08:28,139
a conversation between not only myself
220
00:08:28,139 --> 00:08:30,720
but also the the team of people here
221
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,159
from the coaches to the medical staff
222
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:34,740
and putting together a good plan of of
223
00:08:34,740 --> 00:08:36,479
what's going to be effective and what's
224
00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:39,419
going to be uh smart so it's going to be
225
00:08:39,419 --> 00:08:41,399
a conversation that we'll have and and
226
00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:43,620
we'll figure out what's best where do
227
00:08:43,620 --> 00:08:45,300
you plan to spend most of this off
228
00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:46,500
season
229
00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:50,160
uh like you're gonna be in here or are
230
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,959
you going to stay here and work and
231
00:08:51,959 --> 00:08:53,880
follow that Planner yeah I'll be working
232
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,640
out I'll be working out here uh I'll
233
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,220
probably also be working out uh in La as
234
00:08:59,220 --> 00:09:02,100
well your teammate did with teammates
235
00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:03,959
are all excited about you know you
236
00:09:03,959 --> 00:09:06,540
joining the team next season uh what do
237
00:09:06,540 --> 00:09:08,700
you think you can bring to the team uh
238
00:09:08,700 --> 00:09:10,860
next season oh you know or I could
239
00:09:10,860 --> 00:09:13,380
change your dynamics of a team based on
240
00:09:13,380 --> 00:09:16,140
what you saw this season yeah that's
241
00:09:16,140 --> 00:09:18,540
that's something that's
242
00:09:18,540 --> 00:09:21,480
um hard to go into detail on six months
243
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,640
out from uh
244
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,500
our first game and that's something
245
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:27,180
that's going to be evolving throughout
246
00:09:27,180 --> 00:09:29,640
the season uh as we play more games and
247
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:30,899
figure things out
248
00:09:30,899 --> 00:09:33,660
um things are going to change uh game to
249
00:09:33,660 --> 00:09:36,480
game uh based on Personnel another team
250
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,880
and and game plan how they play how we
251
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,260
play uh so that's gonna be something
252
00:09:40,260 --> 00:09:42,720
that we kind of figure out uh as we go
253
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,580
you may not have been able to be on the
254
00:09:44,580 --> 00:09:45,779
floor but you got to spend a lot of time
255
00:09:45,779 --> 00:09:48,000
with your teammates on and off the floor
256
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,100
just what's that camaraderie like with
257
00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:51,959
this group and how much did that help
258
00:09:51,959 --> 00:09:53,339
you in your your journey in your
259
00:09:53,339 --> 00:09:56,519
recovery uh it's definitely it was
260
00:09:56,519 --> 00:09:59,519
definitely helpful uh you know uh being
261
00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:02,399
around a group of guys that's uh like
262
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:04,019
the group guys we have
263
00:10:04,019 --> 00:10:06,959
um we're obviously a very young team uh
264
00:10:06,959 --> 00:10:09,600
so it almost feels more like a college
265
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,779
team sometimes than like a team of you
266
00:10:12,779 --> 00:10:15,360
know grown men which we all are uh you
267
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,480
know I have uh two teammates now with a
268
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,580
kid uh for the first time in my life
269
00:10:20,580 --> 00:10:22,860
which is pretty crazy but
270
00:10:22,860 --> 00:10:24,720
um being around a group of young guys
271
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,640
you know it's always jokes it's always
272
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,740
laughing so it definitely picks up the
273
00:10:28,740 --> 00:10:29,640
mood
274
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,200
um you know wherever you're at and it's
275
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,839
a lot of fun I said that you were bad at
276
00:10:33,839 --> 00:10:36,180
cards you have a response to that
277
00:10:36,180 --> 00:10:39,019
uh
278
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,839
I'm bad at cards
279
00:10:41,839 --> 00:10:43,860
they got the player but you haven't
280
00:10:43,860 --> 00:10:45,420
gotten to be in this community and see
281
00:10:45,420 --> 00:10:46,920
this fan base for a year what's it been
282
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,540
like kind of living here and getting to
283
00:10:48,540 --> 00:10:49,380
know what it's like to be in Oklahoma
284
00:10:49,380 --> 00:10:52,740
City uh it's great it's great
285
00:10:52,740 --> 00:10:55,440
um I had never been here uh before
286
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,140
showing up the day after the draft
287
00:10:58,140 --> 00:11:00,839
um but since being here uh you know it's
288
00:11:00,839 --> 00:11:02,880
been a great experience uh you know
289
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,200
Southern Hospitality is definitely
290
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,959
definitely a real thing here
291
00:11:06,959 --> 00:11:09,000
um Everybody I've run into has you know
292
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,420
been nothing but uh nice and uh you know
293
00:11:12,420 --> 00:11:13,800
it's a great Community around here and
294
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,260
I'm glad to be a part of it do you have
295
00:11:16,260 --> 00:11:18,300
any favorite restaurants
296
00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:19,620
uh
297
00:11:19,620 --> 00:11:21,120
uh I don't know if I should give out the
298
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,180
free advertisement here but but uh I
299
00:11:24,180 --> 00:11:26,160
gotta I got a few there's a few good uh
300
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,500
good places that uh are some go-to's
301
00:11:32,279 --> 00:11:33,899
um
302
00:11:33,899 --> 00:11:35,339
that's probably a tougher question
303
00:11:35,339 --> 00:11:36,899
honestly uh
304
00:11:36,899 --> 00:11:40,640
you know I'm I'm uh
305
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,060
pretty uh
306
00:11:44,279 --> 00:11:46,860
um exploratory eater like um
307
00:11:46,860 --> 00:11:49,260
wide palette uh you know I kind of eat
308
00:11:49,260 --> 00:11:50,459
whatever really
309
00:11:50,459 --> 00:11:52,019
stuff and then
310
00:11:52,019 --> 00:11:54,180
um I'm not really a silver lining type
311
00:11:54,180 --> 00:11:56,459
of guy but I do believe that there's
312
00:11:56,459 --> 00:11:59,279
a positive and every negative as far as
313
00:11:59,279 --> 00:12:01,620
your injury goes um what's a positive
314
00:12:01,620 --> 00:12:04,560
that's come out all of us yeah uh I mean
315
00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:06,480
when I got hurt I could either let this
316
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,120
be you know a blessing or curse and uh
317
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,740
you know kind of from day one I decided
318
00:12:10,740 --> 00:12:13,320
uh you know it's
319
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,360
in my best interest to turn it into a
320
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,279
blessing so I kind of just woke up every
321
00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:20,220
day uh with with the same goal in mind
322
00:12:20,220 --> 00:12:22,980
and like I said before
323
00:12:22,980 --> 00:12:25,860
tried to execute the plan to a T and I
324
00:12:25,860 --> 00:12:27,720
feel like because of that you know I've
325
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,120
been able to uh get really good quality
326
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,320
work in
327
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,220
um
328
00:12:32,220 --> 00:12:35,700
and really follow that plan uh on the
329
00:12:35,700 --> 00:12:36,899
court in the weight room with my
330
00:12:36,899 --> 00:12:40,500
nutrition uh with film uh with working
331
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:42,660
with the coaches uh you know I feel like
332
00:12:42,660 --> 00:12:44,579
I've been able to work on a lot and then
333
00:12:44,579 --> 00:12:47,579
last question how well
334
00:12:47,579 --> 00:12:49,380
um I showed you earlier
335
00:12:49,380 --> 00:12:50,940
I feel like it's hard for the average
336
00:12:50,940 --> 00:12:53,399
person to block out
337
00:12:53,399 --> 00:12:55,440
outside noise
338
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,740
um you being a top draft pick a lot of
339
00:12:58,740 --> 00:13:00,300
people talking about you when you went
340
00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:03,180
down that all Amplified how hard is it
341
00:13:03,180 --> 00:13:05,220
for you well how hard
342
00:13:05,220 --> 00:13:07,680
was it for you to block out that noise
343
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:10,560
and what kind of is your coping
344
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:13,920
mechanism there uh
345
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,680
I just uh put my phone in my pocket
346
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:17,700
um
347
00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:19,560
and uh
348
00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:21,720
kind of just if there's something that's
349
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,940
not going to be productive to what I'm
350
00:13:23,940 --> 00:13:25,440
trying to accomplish you know I try not
351
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,540
to pay attention to it uh you know I got
352
00:13:27,540 --> 00:13:30,839
24 hours in the day and uh
353
00:13:30,839 --> 00:13:32,399
you know I don't
354
00:13:32,399 --> 00:13:34,980
see uh
355
00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:37,079
I don't see why it'd be effective for me
356
00:13:37,079 --> 00:13:40,260
to you know put time into uh you know
357
00:13:40,260 --> 00:13:42,360
worrying about what one I can't control
358
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,860
into uh you know people who you know I
359
00:13:46,860 --> 00:13:48,540
probably won't ever even meet in real
360
00:13:48,540 --> 00:13:51,540
life so I just try to focus on on what I
361
00:13:51,540 --> 00:13:53,399
can do to be a better me at the end of
362
00:13:53,399 --> 00:13:54,540
each day
363
00:13:54,540 --> 00:13:56,519
were there any specific teammates that
364
00:13:56,519 --> 00:13:58,440
kind of you know helped you throughout
365
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:59,940
the season
366
00:13:59,940 --> 00:14:02,000
um
367
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,079
it's kind of been a collective effort uh
368
00:14:04,079 --> 00:14:05,220
