Luka Doncic on Dallas Mavs’ Daniel Gafford, PJ Washington, Win Over OKC Thunder

What’ you think of the new uh the two new guys last night great amazing just happy there when you Lively’s been out for a few games but when you see Gafford do you see a lot of the same things and and the way you can play with those guys

Yeah I mean they’re they’re both pretty similar uh both great players uh so we have two of those guys on the team it’s unbelievable Much about Gafford specifically what do you think the biggest impact make uh there’s plent of rebounding blocking shots duning the energy is just a lot he brings a lot and like I said I’m really happy that he’s on our team how how important has it been for you to

Be vocal about what you want to see with this team in terms of the Acquisitions with PJ and now Daniel how important was it for you to be vocal about that I mean you can see how important it is you see impact they have so I think it’s really

Important what do you like about the defensive potential that PJ brings as someone who’s been guarded by him and now is defended alongside him oh great I say you know both both guys are very athletic PJ can one to five I think even G got one to5 so uh they’re both very

Athletic and you know we just got bigger which is better for offense oh defense and speaking of the athleticism you threw quite a few throw aead passes yesterday for transition opportunities is that something that you like appreciate with this Supporting Cast having a lot of athleticism around you

Yeah um I used to do it before already so uh you know those passes are good uh give them a chance to run they trusted me they all throw the pass um but you know with those two guys they’re big and athletic so it’s it’s kind of easier to

Thr it was pretty did you like that it was pretty hard not to notice last night the uh the adorable picture that you put on by G of uh Gabriel’s AAC DAV uh did you actually you know when you’re going out there obviously she’s not watching the game but do you feel

Kind of different when you’re on the board when she’s in the arena yeah different feeling she won’t remember but I will remember forever you know the first game she was sleeping the whole time so but it’s different energy you know it’s different yeah that was her first

Game yeah um were you impressed with how um Gafford and PJ were able to keep up with the pace of the team yeah I mean like I said they’re both athletic guys you know it’s tough to come to a new team and you know get all the plays all

The defensive schemes on uh you know just but just play basketball we went through some stuff today uh so sa by sa they’ll get into it it’s going to be way easier for us how has fatherhood changed you as a player in your approach to the game knowing that more bigger things are

Important once you get home obviously I mean he asked me this 15 times already but I always say the approach is the same it’s just easier to play you know after the game if it’s bad or good should don’t know what when I play you know so just a happy moment going back

Home whatever it is you forget about everything and just think about that hey what can you guys Le from yesterday’s game it’s a great win overall I think we’re good to that’s appreciate good thank you
