Matisse Thybulle Media Availability | Portland Trail Blazers | February 7

I wanted to ask you um about Chris Murray’s first start what you thought of how he performed how he handled itur Mur great the kid’s really Poise he’s got a lot of poise for being a rookie and I mean it’s nerve-wracking for your first start in the NBA and he’s

Played sporadic minutes so it’s not something that he’s used to has been consistent by any means so and to go out there and start and carry your own and struggle and still be able to make an impact on the game is really impressive and like that’s the thing that

I think as a young player you should like how you should grade yourself and what really sets you apart is can I impact the game if I’m not scoring or if I’m not doing what I want to be doing on offense can I still have a positive

Impact it’s not like Chi started him out with a mediocre team at home he started him out on the road against the world chance so that has to be impressive yeah yeah definitely definitely how do you feel like Chris has grown over the course of the Year from where he was at

The beginning of season like a training you know he started wearing dogs no I mean he’s kind of it might sound weird but he’s kind of been the same like he’s he’s such a consistent person and player like the way he shows up does his job like he has a effortless approach and

Way he moves around the court to where it doesn’t really seem like he’s exerting himself but he’s constantly being one of the first guys down the court most consistent crashing the glass like being able to play on each side of the ball and yeah I I think from day one

To now it’s the most impressive thing is just how consistent he’s been is it obvious that he played in college like do that stick out especially in the league with so many 19 20 year olds coming in yeah he almost is like a coach’s son to me like he has that level

Of like understanding of the game and discipline are you playing in Paris this summer yeah well only if duop does only if D does duop are you playing in Paris this Summer are you looking forward to that or yeah yeah really looking forward to it I was actually I had a friend over yesterday and I was showing them my my bronze medal that I I got from Tokyo and it was it was cool to reminisce but also

Yeah got me really excited about this summer are are you more excited about playing with the Australian national team playing in France obviously that’s kind of a playing with with the boys in Australia yeah for sure cuz it’s such a it’s such a gift to be able to play

More basketball in the summer with a different team and a a different style of basketball and I just I feel like for me it just really helps me grow as a player and then it’s really nice to see different faces every once in a while what what style of basketball do you

Does Australia play I think one just playing feea rules is a little it changes the game a lot and then when you play feea basketball there’s an aspect of everyone has to be involved in some capacity cuz defenses are so good and you can just load up so

Much that the offense is more of a fiveman attack as opposed to just where the NBA can turn into a lot of iso ball so it’s a different kind of chemistry and connection when you’re out there playing this is a dum question if somebody would have said to a

10-year-old T you’re going to win a medal in the Olympics what would you have thought it was going to be track and field for sure cuz 10-year-old T I think just started running track and I loved usan bolt and like that would have been my dream how old were you when you

Started playing basketball when you already playing by then or I mean yeah I I’ve played basketball since I was like four years old but competitively not till I moved to like Seattle so like in like Middle School tennis my mom played tennis in college yeah so our family watches tennis
