not going to stop you. That’s messed up. First, uh, happy birthday. Thank you. And second, uh, what’s it been like spending your birthday getting ready to play your first NBA summer league game? It’s dope. It’s still just working towards my dream for real. It’s a dream come true for me. So, uh, I’m just still working towards that. So, you’re what, 21 today? Yeah, I just turned 21. And you’re the last guy to leave the gym. It’s your birthday and you’re you’re the hardest working guy out here. Just getting extra shots up and extra reps, making sure. Uh just working on my game. Is this how you envisioned your 21st birthday to be? No, but I I’ll take it though. Worst place to be than Vegas. When you look at obviously what’s what do you want to establish right away in this first in this first game tomorrow? Um really just showing my ability to compete. Uh like I was saying before, like if anything goes wrong, I can always just uh know that I played hard. Um and gave him my all on both ends of the floor. So that’s just making sure I show effort. Okay. Talking defensively, obviously your ability to to switch out on guys and and play a smaller guy up top. I’ve watched watched a couple games and saw you do that a number of times. How comfortable are you in that in that situation? I’m pretty comfortable. Well, I think I worked enough on it um to be pretty comfortable doing it in the game, just switching on different guys, guarding multiple positions. So, I’m pretty comfortable with it. What’s it like to put on that jersey that says Suns and has the NBA logo and so on. It’s unescribable feeling. It’s it’s like I said, it’s my wish dream birthday. It’s dope feeling. What What you know, you got a guy like Mat Cle walking around here, guy that’s won a national championship. What goes through your mind when you see a guy like that and somebody you can pick his brain? um just see like what it what it took like off things he does off the court. Um the time he puts just just the work that he puts in just just like you said picking his brain on different things. Have you done that already? No, I haven’t. Okay, that’s all I got. Thank you. Thanks. He’s got a birthday.
