Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,366 --> 00:00:01,299
Chen obviously
2
00:00:01,300 --> 00:00:02,900
not being able to play this season
3
00:00:02,900 --> 00:00:05,566
but being able to be inside the group inside the team
4
00:00:05,566 --> 00:00:07,799
just what was this like from your perspective
5
00:00:07,866 --> 00:00:09,499
oh yeah obviously it's
6
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:11,000
it looked a lot different than
7
00:00:11,466 --> 00:00:13,266
uh you know what was expected
8
00:00:13,766 --> 00:00:14,566
um
9
00:00:14,666 --> 00:00:17,866
but I just you know tried to work with what I was given
10
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:18,900
uh and make sure
11
00:00:19,300 --> 00:00:20,966
that I was stand within the team
12
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,366
uh and you know my focus was on the team and
13
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:24,733
trying to help them succeed
14
00:00:26,733 --> 00:00:27,933
would you learn the most
15
00:00:28,766 --> 00:00:29,799
you know you were playing
16
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,366
would you learn the most about the NBA
17
00:00:31,366 --> 00:00:32,366
and what you need to
18
00:00:32,766 --> 00:00:33,933
know going forward
19
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:35,600
I don't think I could you know
20
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,000
sum it up to just one thing
21
00:00:37,533 --> 00:00:39,199
there's there's a lot I Learned
22
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:41,266
uh I was able to watch uh
23
00:00:41,566 --> 00:00:43,866
I'd like a a front row seat to
24
00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:47,000
uh the class of getting buckets every night
25
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,166
you know watching Shay
26
00:00:48,666 --> 00:00:49,666
uh go out there
27
00:00:49,966 --> 00:00:51,399
uh and all the other dudes too
28
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,066
and you know other teams as well
29
00:00:53,366 --> 00:00:54,166
uh it was
30
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,800
it was it was great for me to be able to watch
31
00:00:57,666 --> 00:00:59,066
how other teams play
32
00:00:59,566 --> 00:01:00,466
different styles
33
00:01:00,766 --> 00:01:01,733
different personnel
34
00:01:02,133 --> 00:01:03,133
really be able to
35
00:01:03,333 --> 00:01:06,599
kind of pick up as much as I can from that and you know
36
00:01:08,166 --> 00:01:10,266
kind of take down all the knowledge so I can use it
37
00:01:10,266 --> 00:01:11,066
going forward
38
00:01:11,566 --> 00:01:13,266
where are you at physically now
39
00:01:13,266 --> 00:01:15,699
and how much are you able to do on the court
40
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,133
I'm pretty much
41
00:01:19,133 --> 00:01:22,166
past the rehab part of this
42
00:01:25,133 --> 00:01:26,533
journey I guess you could say
43
00:01:27,133 --> 00:01:27,999
now I'm
44
00:01:28,266 --> 00:01:32,299
progressing more into the 5 on 5 stuff and kind of
45
00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:34,700
taken away
46
00:01:35,333 --> 00:01:37,199
any restrictions that I have this point
47
00:01:37,766 --> 00:01:40,466
you feel close to where you are free injury
48
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:42,533
in terms of
49
00:01:43,066 --> 00:01:45,799
just physically athletically like
50
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,600
feel like you can play like you did
51
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:48,466
before you got hurt
52
00:01:49,133 --> 00:01:50,299
yeah you know I feel
53
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:51,733
feel great I've had a great
54
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,600
team around me helping me
55
00:01:54,566 --> 00:01:57,299
get back to you know a great point and
56
00:01:57,900 --> 00:01:59,200
there's been a great plan in place
57
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,600
and you know I feel like I followed that to a tea and
58
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:04,100
you know it's got me in a great spot
59
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:07,200
being on the floor
60
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,166
what I miss most about being out
61
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,766
what I miss most about being
62
00:02:13,666 --> 00:02:14,566
like not playing
63
00:02:17,466 --> 00:02:18,533
uh it's a lot of things
64
00:02:18,533 --> 00:02:21,133
obviously like you said the toughest part is
65
00:02:21,133 --> 00:02:22,099
is just not playing
66
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:24,366
but um I'm a pretty competitive guy
67
00:02:24,366 --> 00:02:27,366
so not having kind of competitive outlet uh
68
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,766
that you know I'm accustomed to uh was definitely tough
69
00:02:30,766 --> 00:02:34,599
um you know just trying to find other ways to kind of
70
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,266
stay competitive uh in other areas
71
00:02:37,266 --> 00:02:38,899
uh while I'm not even play basketball
72
00:02:38,933 --> 00:02:40,299
was kind of a tough thing
73
00:02:41,133 --> 00:02:42,066
it's really too far out
74
00:02:42,066 --> 00:02:44,099
but do you play on playing in summer league at all
75
00:02:45,866 --> 00:02:47,066
you know right now I'm
76
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:50,066
focused on following the plan that we have in place and
77
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,266
you know if
78
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,733
when that time comes that's part of the plan
79
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,766
uh you know I'll uh
80
00:02:57,966 --> 00:03:00,099
follow the plan like I have up to this point
81
00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:01,900
um but right now I'm focused on
82
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:04,766
on the plan that I have here in the near future and
83
00:03:04,766 --> 00:03:06,399
uh we'll figure that out as we go
84
00:03:06,866 --> 00:03:08,699
it's a play form
85
00:03:08,700 --> 00:03:11,333
but in which your thoughts on Mark this is
86
00:03:13,766 --> 00:03:14,933
coach of the year right
87
00:03:16,966 --> 00:03:18,499
I think you should be coach of the year but
88
00:03:20,133 --> 00:03:21,333
yeah I think that's all I gotta say
89
00:03:21,333 --> 00:03:22,766
I think you should be coach of the year
90
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,466
fellow rookies kind of go out there and do their thing
91
00:03:27,466 --> 00:03:28,933
dove and will and who's
92
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:31,400
it was great
93
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,766
being able to watch the strides that they'd made
94
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:35,766
over the course of the season
95
00:03:35,766 --> 00:03:37,199
and all the work that they put in
96
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,700
it was great to watch you know that payoff for them
97
00:03:41,566 --> 00:03:42,366
not only for
98
00:03:42,366 --> 00:03:44,533
you know I fell rookies but all my teammates you know
99
00:03:44,533 --> 00:03:45,966
everybody worked hard this year and
100
00:03:46,133 --> 00:03:49,066
and made you know huge improvements and uh
101
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,733
you know I kind of paid off in
102
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,400
in the wind column for us
103
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:54,066
as well as
104
00:03:54,066 --> 00:03:57,866
you know just our ability as individuals and as a team
105
00:03:57,900 --> 00:04:00,133
uh you know we made great strides together
106
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,266
does the success of the team make you even more like
107
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,266
anxious to get out there with them
108
00:04:06,266 --> 00:04:07,699
knowing that you can contribute to like
109
00:04:07,700 --> 00:04:09,800
a pretty high level team already
110
00:04:14,466 --> 00:04:15,599
I feel like
111
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:21,100
I feel like that doesn't change it
112
00:04:21,100 --> 00:04:23,500
too much you know I just feel like uh
113
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:26,333
pretty anxious to get out there and
114
00:04:26,366 --> 00:04:28,166
obviously play with my teammates and you know
115
00:04:28,166 --> 00:04:29,766
do whatever I can to help them win
116
00:04:29,766 --> 00:04:32,399
obviously uh you know it's great that
117
00:04:32,900 --> 00:04:35,933
uh this group of guys was able to uh
118
00:04:36,266 --> 00:04:38,866
you know exceed um
119
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:42,000
kind of expectations going into the year and uh
120
00:04:42,166 --> 00:04:44,799
you know really put together a great season
121
00:04:45,100 --> 00:04:48,666
um but I don't think it changes just how anxious I am
122
00:04:48,666 --> 00:04:50,299
you know get out there and play with these guys
123
00:04:50,866 --> 00:04:52,266
speaking to
124
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:55,133
your eagerness of trying to get back out there
125
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:59,000
you created quite a store with the free 7 post
126
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,866
what can you sort of explain that to us
127
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:04,366
yeah that's just kind of going back to what he said
128
00:05:04,366 --> 00:05:06,666
just a guy who's anxious to play
129
00:05:06,866 --> 00:05:07,866
you know we all know
130
00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:10,000
I love to play basketball and kind of
131
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,600
that's just me thinking
132
00:05:12,066 --> 00:05:14,933
forward to you know when I'm able to play again
133
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,466
speaking of Instagram captions there's been some
134
00:05:19,733 --> 00:05:20,999
discussions on if she
135
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,966
comes up with his Instagram captions or if
136
00:05:23,133 --> 00:05:24,933
maybe Drake or an outside force does
137
00:05:25,066 --> 00:05:26,266
was your thoughts on that
138
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:27,733
did does he do it on his own
139
00:05:28,966 --> 00:05:30,499
he does do him on his own
140
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,733
he kind of like uh
141
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,400
sometimes he'll just like
142
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:39,700
uh be around the team and kind of joke around
143
00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:40,966
and then come up with one
144
00:05:41,166 --> 00:05:42,899
uh and sometimes you know
145
00:05:43,333 --> 00:05:46,333
uh he'll just come up with one completely on his own um
146
00:05:46,966 --> 00:05:48,099
but yeah
147
00:05:48,100 --> 00:05:48,666
maybe
148
00:05:48,666 --> 00:05:50,333
when he's retired it'll be like a poet or something
149
00:05:50,333 --> 00:05:51,133
I don't know
150
00:05:58,166 --> 00:06:00,199
I don't remember them all word for word
151
00:06:01,533 --> 00:06:03,466
but he's had a few good ones
152
00:06:03,466 --> 00:06:04,999
so it's probably hard to pick one
153
00:06:05,866 --> 00:06:07,599
what did you learn about the thunder
154
00:06:07,966 --> 00:06:08,866
through this year
155
00:06:08,866 --> 00:06:11,099
you know you kind of got to be inside the walls
156
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:14,300
what did you learn about just the team the organization
157
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,366
uh I knew coming in
158
00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:18,800
uh that this was a great organization
159
00:06:18,933 --> 00:06:20,599
with great people and it was really well run
160
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,566
but that was kind of just uh reaffirmed uh
161
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,066
after going through this whole season and uh
162
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,466
not only the way they took care of me and helped me but
163
00:06:28,466 --> 00:06:29,699
you know the way they
164
00:06:29,700 --> 00:06:31,666
handle everybody who comes through the building
165
00:06:31,933 --> 00:06:35,733
um and the way they do business uh it's all around
166
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,100
uh you know just no issues and
167
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,500
uh you know they do it the right way
168
00:06:40,866 --> 00:06:42,799
as you're watching the team are there like
169
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,566
specific things that you're watching at all
170
00:06:44,566 --> 00:06:46,733
I could help in this area or I could
171
00:06:46,966 --> 00:06:50,599
really feel like this gap that's kind of being left
172
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:51,700
you know by the team on the court
173
00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:52,100
yeah yeah
174
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:55,166
that's part of analyzing the game as I'm watching
175
00:06:56,066 --> 00:06:56,866
just
176
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:58,400
tryna understand
177
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,733
like I said before how other teams are playing
178
00:07:00,733 --> 00:07:02,599
how we're playing and uh
179
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,266
kind of visualize and
180
00:07:04,266 --> 00:07:07,099
and think about how you know I could be in there
181
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,600
uh in certain situations and
182
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,766
and uh you know how I would
183
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,600
you know play that situation or affect that situation
184
00:07:14,866 --> 00:07:16,399
uh must definitely be part of it
185
00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:20,066
besides mentally what do you think that you improved on
186
00:07:20,066 --> 00:07:21,333
like is there anything like
187
00:07:21,333 --> 00:07:22,566
any aspect like on the court
188
00:07:22,566 --> 00:07:24,399
you feel like you were able to improve on
189
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:25,933
over the course of this year
190
00:07:26,066 --> 00:07:27,366
oh yeah um
191
00:07:27,900 --> 00:07:30,933
obviously like you said mentally watching a lot of game
192
00:07:31,133 --> 00:07:34,599
uh you're able to pick up on a lot of things but um
193
00:07:35,666 --> 00:07:40,066
I never really had the time to just kind of rework uh
194
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:44,066
my shot and uh really have the time and the
195
00:07:44,066 --> 00:07:45,599
the focus to put into it
196
00:07:45,866 --> 00:07:47,333
um you know I've
197
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,066
taken pride in my ability to shoot the basketball and
198
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,100
um I feel like I've done it pretty well
199
00:07:53,166 --> 00:07:54,466
uh up to this point in my career
200
00:07:54,466 --> 00:07:55,699
but um
201
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:58,933
you know I'm kinda on the journey of trying to be a
202
00:07:59,300 --> 00:08:00,266
uh an elite shooter
203
00:08:00,266 --> 00:08:00,666
so I was
204
00:08:00,666 --> 00:08:03,299
able to really put in a lot of work with my shot and uh
205
00:08:03,366 --> 00:08:05,333
and you know make it even
206
00:08:05,566 --> 00:08:06,733
uh more effective
207
00:08:06,966 --> 00:08:08,366
Chad coming off this injury
208
00:08:08,366 --> 00:08:10,499
how do you find the balance twin ramping up
209
00:08:10,900 --> 00:08:11,966
and kind of like
210
00:08:11,966 --> 00:08:12,366
I don't know
211
00:08:12,366 --> 00:08:14,366
staying safe throughout this injury process
212
00:08:14,366 --> 00:08:14,599
because
213
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,300
obviously you're not going to double wrap yourself
214
00:08:16,300 --> 00:08:16,766
over the summer
215
00:08:16,766 --> 00:08:17,999
you're going to work and try to get better
216
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,500
but at the same time you can't be
217
00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:20,566
I guess out there
218
00:08:20,566 --> 00:08:22,599
reckless doing whatever that makes sense
219
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,133
yeah that comes down to
220
00:08:26,333 --> 00:08:29,333
a conversation between not only myself but also the
221
00:08:29,333 --> 00:08:30,733
the team of people here
222
00:08:30,733 --> 00:08:32,199
from the coaches of medical staff
223
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,466
and putting together a good plan of
224
00:08:34,466 --> 00:08:37,099
of what's gonna be effective and what's gonna be
225
00:08:37,166 --> 00:08:38,299
uh smart so
226
00:08:38,866 --> 00:08:40,966
it's going to be a conversation that we'll have
227
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:42,866
and we'll figure out what's best
228
00:08:43,166 --> 00:08:45,799
where do you plan to spend most of this off season
229
00:08:48,066 --> 00:08:49,466
like you're gonna be in here
230
00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:51,133
are you gonna stay here
231
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,933
and work and follow that planner
232
00:08:53,166 --> 00:08:54,199
yeah I'll be working out
233
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,566
I'll be working out here
234
00:08:56,133 --> 00:08:59,566
I'll probably also be working out in LA as well
235
00:09:00,166 --> 00:09:00,966
your
236
00:09:01,766 --> 00:09:03,733
teammates are all excited about you know
237
00:09:03,733 --> 00:09:05,533
you're joining the team next season
238
00:09:06,066 --> 00:09:09,466
what do you think you can bring to the team next season
239
00:09:10,100 --> 00:09:11,366
or I could change your
240
00:09:11,533 --> 00:09:14,966
dynamics of team based on what you saw this season
241
00:09:15,266 --> 00:09:17,466
yeah that's something that's
242
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,100
um hard to go into detail on 6 months out from
243
00:09:22,766 --> 00:09:23,566
uh
244
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,600
our 1st game and that's something
245
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,966
that's gonna be evolving throughout the season
246
00:09:28,333 --> 00:09:30,666
uh as we play more games and figure things out
247
00:09:30,700 --> 00:09:32,333
um things are gonna change
248
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,266
uh game to game
249
00:09:34,500 --> 00:09:37,066
uh based on personnel another team and
250
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,533
and game plan how they play how we play uh
251
00:09:39,533 --> 00:09:39,733
so
252
00:09:39,733 --> 00:09:41,599
that's gonna be something that we kind of figure out
253
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,000
uh as we go
254
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,766
you may not have been able to be on the floor
255
00:09:44,766 --> 00:09:45,666
but you got to spend a lot of
256
00:09:45,666 --> 00:09:47,166
time with your teammates on
257
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,100
and off the floor
258
00:09:48,100 --> 00:09:50,666
just what's that camaraderie like with this group
259
00:09:50,666 --> 00:09:53,066
and how much did that help you in your journey
260
00:09:53,066 --> 00:09:53,933
in your recovery
261
00:09:56,166 --> 00:09:57,366
it was definitely helpful
262
00:09:57,866 --> 00:10:01,899
you know uh being around uh a group of guys that's uh
263
00:10:02,133 --> 00:10:03,566
like the group guys we have
264
00:10:03,566 --> 00:10:05,999
um we're obviously a very young team
265
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,200
uh so it almost feels more like uh
266
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,533
a college team sometimes than like uh
267
00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:14,866
a team of you know grown men which we all are uh
268
00:10:15,100 --> 00:10:16,700
you know I have uh
269
00:10:16,933 --> 00:10:18,899
2 teammates now with a kid
270
00:10:19,333 --> 00:10:21,566
uh for the 1st time in my life which is pretty crazy
271
00:10:21,566 --> 00:10:22,966
but um
272
00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:25,500
it's been around a group of young guys you know it's
273
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:27,133
it's always jokes it's always laughing
274
00:10:27,133 --> 00:10:29,799
so uh it definitely picks up the mood um
275
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,066
you know wherever you're at and it's a lot of fun
276
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,466
she said that you're about a cards
277
00:10:34,466 --> 00:10:35,966
we ever respond to that
278
00:10:42,566 --> 00:10:43,399
I've gotten to play it
279
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:44,266
but you haven't gotten to
280
00:10:44,266 --> 00:10:45,566
be in this community and see this
281
00:10:45,566 --> 00:10:46,399
fan base for a year
282
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:47,966
what's it been like kind of living here
283
00:10:48,066 --> 00:10:48,999
and getting to know what it's like
284
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:49,966
the uniform city
285
00:10:50,533 --> 00:10:52,333
uh it's great it's great
286
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,066
um I had never been here uh
287
00:10:55,266 --> 00:10:58,166
before showing up the day after the draft um
288
00:10:58,566 --> 00:10:59,966
but since being here
289
00:11:00,066 --> 00:11:02,066
uh you know it's been a great experience
290
00:11:02,066 --> 00:11:04,466
uh you know southern hospitality is definitely
291
00:11:04,466 --> 00:11:05,666
definitely a real thing here
292
00:11:05,666 --> 00:11:06,466
uh
293
00:11:07,066 --> 00:11:10,166
everybody I've run into has you know been nothing but
294
00:11:11,066 --> 00:11:12,366
nice and you know
295
00:11:12,366 --> 00:11:14,499
it's a great community around here and I'm glad
296
00:11:14,533 --> 00:11:15,533
to be a part of it
297
00:11:15,866 --> 00:11:17,333
do you have any favorite restaurants
298
00:11:19,766 --> 00:11:21,199
I don't know if I should give out the free
299
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,000
advertisement
300
00:11:23,366 --> 00:11:25,099
but I got a few
301
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:26,100
there's a few good
302
00:11:26,700 --> 00:11:28,766
places that are some go TOS
303
00:11:34,066 --> 00:11:36,066
that's probably a tougher question honestly
304
00:11:36,066 --> 00:11:36,866
uh
305
00:11:37,100 --> 00:11:38,700
you know I'm I'm
306
00:11:39,533 --> 00:11:40,333
uh
307
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:42,166
pretty uh
308
00:11:43,900 --> 00:11:45,800
um exploratory eater
309
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:46,600
like I'm
310
00:11:47,133 --> 00:11:48,333
wide palette uh
311
00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:50,066
you know I kind of eat whatever or the
312
00:11:50,666 --> 00:11:51,999
step and then um
313
00:11:52,100 --> 00:11:54,533
I'm not really a silver lying type of guy
314
00:11:54,533 --> 00:11:56,166
but I do believe that there's
315
00:11:56,466 --> 00:11:58,566
uh positives and every negative
316
00:11:58,666 --> 00:12:00,266
as far as the injury goes
317
00:12:00,266 --> 00:12:02,699
um what's a positive that's come out of this
318
00:12:03,466 --> 00:12:04,266
yeah uh
319
00:12:04,266 --> 00:12:05,366
I mean when I got hurt
320
00:12:05,366 --> 00:12:07,199
I could either let this be you know
321
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,400
busting our curse and
322
00:12:08,766 --> 00:12:11,566
uh you know kind of from day one I decided uh
323
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,100
you know it's
324
00:12:13,466 --> 00:12:15,699
in my best interest to turn it into a blessing
325
00:12:15,700 --> 00:12:18,533
so kinda just woke up every day uh with
326
00:12:18,533 --> 00:12:20,733
with the same goal in mind and
327
00:12:21,266 --> 00:12:22,499
uh like I said before us
328
00:12:23,133 --> 00:12:24,966
tried to execute the plan to a tea
329
00:12:25,300 --> 00:12:26,333
uh and I feel like
330
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:28,533
because of that you know I've been able to
331
00:12:28,866 --> 00:12:31,466
uh get really good quality work in um
332
00:12:32,300 --> 00:12:34,666
and really follow that plan
333
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,600
on the court in the weight room with my nutrition
334
00:12:38,266 --> 00:12:39,166
with film
335
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,500
with working with the coaches
336
00:12:42,066 --> 00:12:43,899
you know I feel like I've been able to work on a lot
337
00:12:43,966 --> 00:12:45,999
and then last question how
338
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:47,200
well
339
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:49,066
I asked earlier
340
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,133
I feel like it's hard for the average person to
341
00:12:52,266 --> 00:12:54,766
block out outside noise
342
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,400
um you being um
343
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:58,300
top draft pick
344
00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:00,666
a lot of people talking about you when you went down
345
00:13:00,666 --> 00:13:01,966
that all amplified
346
00:13:02,066 --> 00:13:03,799
how hard is it for you
347
00:13:03,866 --> 00:13:04,766
well how hard
348
00:13:05,500 --> 00:13:07,800
was it for you to block out that noise
349
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,466
and what kind of is your coping mechanism there
350
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:15,966
I just uh put my phone in my pocket
351
00:13:16,333 --> 00:13:17,133
um
352
00:13:17,900 --> 00:13:18,800
and uh
353
00:13:19,733 --> 00:13:20,866
kind of just
354
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:23,366
if there's something that's not gonna be productive to
355
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:24,866
what I'm trying to accomplish
356
00:13:24,866 --> 00:13:26,733
you know I try not to pay attention to it
357
00:13:26,733 --> 00:13:29,999
uh you know I got 24 hours in the day and uh
358
00:13:31,100 --> 00:13:31,900
you know I don't
359
00:13:32,566 --> 00:13:34,366
see uh
360
00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:37,800
I don't see why it'd be affected for me to you know
361
00:13:37,866 --> 00:13:39,066
put time into
362
00:13:39,666 --> 00:13:42,699
uh you know worrying about what one I can't control
363
00:13:42,700 --> 00:13:44,700
into uh you know
364
00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:45,900
people who
365
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,866
you know I probably won't ever even meet in real life
366
00:13:48,866 --> 00:13:50,999
so I just try to focus on
367
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,066
on what I can do to
368
00:13:52,266 --> 00:13:53,966
be a better me at the end of each day
369
00:13:54,766 --> 00:13:56,933
were there any specific teammates that kind of
370
00:13:56,933 --> 00:13:59,133
