Think he’s producing at a high level especially offensively and when we look about his knocks on his game coming out it was his physicality they didn’t think he was strong enough and also his three-point jump shot and he is proving that those are no areas of concern and he’s progressing as a Season your first impressions of him so far NBA uh he’s doing great you know um I just just just admire how he um stays with it you know just it could be tough uh losing I went through it last year you know still still trying to win uh

More games this year but just just um just losing a lot of games like that could be tough it could it could weigh on somebody you know and he’s just still having fun with it still still playing so I admire him for that and um he’s just playing great you know what I’m

He can get a shot of um pretty much in front of anyone uh so I just uh like his mindset I see the aggressiveness and the focus and commitment on his on his part the confidence so that’s why you know uh that’s why I love to have him on my team

And I picked him yeah it’s uh you know I don’t know if it’s early to say but um you know players that have that type of beas I don’t know if you can compare him to a KD or you know players that have that ability

To score the ball with ease um in a very natural and effortless almost way uh with that determination and confidence of a great scorer so you know he’s a he looks like he’s going to be a player going to score a lot of points in this league awesome thank you talk about just
