Slice down leaders third meeting.
These seem roadwise attapur Jones
on the defensive side of things,
especially as a rookie.
I have no idea whatsoever.
Does he play for me? Oh, OK.
I'd have a hard time telling
you that about all my players.
I pay no attention to the development
of somebody in New Orleans.
Brett yeah I can spend my time
worrying about my players 'cause they
all want to improve and develop and
so that's where my time is spent.
If I was doing that on everybody
elses players, I'd be ignoring mine.
Chance. Do you want to see it?
Did you hear my answer I I don't know.
You don't know. I don't know this.
No, I'm not familiar with this
young man's defensive capabilities.
I could ask. Conan Johnson,
have you noticed that the person is shot?
Question, we get into the thing.
Well, he's he's.
He's learned overtime to make
better decisions, not playing a
crowd so much you know realizing.
Whereas where the spaces and where
other players are, you know everybody.
It's kind of a boring game.
We all do the same thing everybody
wants to penetrate in the paint.
You hit the open guy for the
three issues. The three.
That's the deal. If you don't make
threes most of the time you lose.
One of the better, but have you
seen just from your perspective,
have you seen the defense is guarding
a little bit differently in terms like?
Well, they have to pay more attention to him?
'cause he's our best 3 point shooters so.
That's a skill that he's developed this
year that frankly kind of surprised us all.
That's not where we expected him.
To improve to that degree anyway,
so he's done a great job.
Such a well rounded player and such an asset.
Well, in a number one he's
he's a heck of a competitor.
He competes all the time.
Every aspect of the game he
wants to be a really good player.
He's coachable, he's one of
the favorite guys on the team.
He's a great teammate.
So you know if you have somebody who's at
willing to learn and he's at competitive,
it's going to spill over in a lot of ways.
Whether it's a 3 point shooting or
playing better defense or using his
body to rebound a little bit better so.
Those would be the reasons I think
that makes him so well rounded.
Joel, you just eye candy.
Have to talk about Josh Freeman, OK?
Just give him better Joshua.
Joshua yeah, so I
just say that 'cause we've gotta
Josh on our team too, right?
And so people get confused like sometimes
I get confused. Yeah, it seems
like he's getting better.
Yeah, you know he's the
youngest kid in the league and.
He's going to be a hell of a player.
He's just. Realizing what
it's like to play with men,
you know he's basically a high school kid,
and the physicality of the game is something
he's getting used to. The tenacity,
the the physicality of these guys,
but his skill level is high,
his demeanor is.
Just like this, he's not impressed
overly so mistakes don't bother him.
He goes to the next play.
So he's a special kid.
You're welcome. Anybody else?
I'm gonna go watch some film on Herb.
Get back to you after the game.
They played together last year. Yeah, I'm
not being a wise guy like people
ask me that for years, right?
They'll say, hey, what do you think
about so and so on our team and I say I,
I know I didn't watch any film, you
didn't watch any film on the game tonight.
No, it's basketball.
We all do the same stuff you run,
pick and roll.
You got to get back on defense.
You want to rebound?
You want to make shots?
How hard is that?
It's just who does it better
for more minutes. He gave me
one of the best. I doubt that.
