Trey Murphy III on Depth, OKC Matchup | Pelicans-Thunder Shootaround 3/26/24

Trey Murphy III on Depth, OKC Matchup | Pelicans-Thunder Shootaround 3/26/24

What uh the big thing you know um one of our coaches started you know just having our guards play physical um just try to have a big guard mentality even if you aren’t the biggest guard you know yeah for you um you know you’ve had some games like high rebound totals is that

Something you know you’ve been trying to do more and more of just what’s your approach there no absolutely I mean it’s been a challenge from uh you know staff as well as my dad to rebound the ball a lot better and also I know is whenever I

Rebound a lot better then I’m more active I’m able to get into the game more and yeah that’s what I would really attributed to when you know your your role is going to be like a guy who comes off the bench and has to score and then

You’re now going to be part of starting lineup here for a while like does it does it change how you like approach a game or anything like that not necessarily the same I mean that’s how my career has been here last two years it’s been just being ready to start or

Come off the bench either either way when you get out there just hope that’s all what do you think of um the way that the guys played Off the Bench I mean had you in the second unit before but and now obviously you’re starting but what

Did you think of like even like on the road trip with Jose Nai Larry no they’ve been great i’ been great that Miami game they were huge they uh played really big for us in that game we probably would have won without them so um you know

Just shows the depth that we have on this team and how uh strong our second unit is the the two games that you guys played against City been kind of low scoring I know you didn’t play in the first one you played in the second one

Um do you look at it has it been kind of almost like the playoff feel or like in terms of both teams are really good defensively that kind of no absolutely I mean they have really high attention detail on their defense they uh protect the paint pretty well and um they just

Play they just play together as a unit try to force turnovers and get out and transition that’s where they are best and it’s very similar to us and our defense as well have you had a chance to see the Cur all defense campaign stuff that they started that they launched

Yesterday I posted on my story so yeah definitely what was your what was your assessment of some of the stuff it was pretty cool I mean you know he he deserves it and he’s not the type of person to really uh show it too much so um I really think he deserves it

Especially since he’s hit his 65 game Mark so um really hope he’s able to get that you think people are like starting to get it you know outside of DS just like how how good he is I hope so no I really hope so I don’t I try to stay off

Twitter sometimes and uh you know I don’t really pay too much attention to what other people are saying but um I would like to think so I got a question how steady are you guys you guys seem to be you know haven’t skipped a beat even during practice you

Shoot around stuff like just steady all season and coming into the stretch and it’s pretty consistent all all the way through I mean keep the same mentality all the way through the end of the season that’s really it just that’s how we gotten here and that’s how we’re

Going to stay stay here so thank you
