I mean, summer league it’s different from regular season. It’s like it’s like adapting on the fly, you know? We have bunch of teammates. There’s a lot of moving parts, but um I think I think the keeper is to be able to stay ready and to be ready to play. Um unlike today, we were we weren’t ready to play on the jump and it kind of hurt us towards the end, but I think the keeper is like staying ready and being ready to play. Where do you feel like you taking this uh the most like battle leap forward in terms of your communication on the floor? It seemed like a lot of times now you were screaming, putting guys in the right direction, things like that. How far like where you feel like your development’s been there in that department? Uh I think it’s really important because um I feel like I’m the anchor because I see everything. I’m behind the play. Um I got to be able to voice it out to my teammates. Um I know we we we’ve we haven’t been together for long. So I’m trying to get one to to do what we need to do and do what the team asks us to do, you know. And um and always got to be vocal regardless if it’s a new team or old team. I got to be vocal and u I think that’s my style. Well, let’s welcome on the floor. So, uh yeah, there first congratulations on national good season. Thank you. Thank you. Your winter and yeah and um yeah about what do you see from from him so so far? Um Ethan is a um is a great prospect. Um I’ve known him since he was in Europe. Um I remember the tournament seeing him play in turkey actually in Ismir. Um he has he has he has a lot of um energy. He plays he plays hard. He runs the flow. Um I think he has a he has a good potential in him. Thank you. What have you seen even in these games that BJ hasn’t been able to play? But TJ was talking earlier about just still the importance of learning and absorbing and still getting something out. How do you see him kind of continue to try to um get adapted and learn the system and even when he’s not been able to be on the floor? Yeah. Um VJ, one thing about him um I’ve learned and noticed that he’s eager to learn. Even though when they stop playing, he’s asking questions. He’s on the bench. He’s with the team all the time. Um I think that’s really important even when you’re off the floor or when you’re not with the team, you’re still trying to learn and try to understand what the team needs from most. And I think that’s that’s the big thing I’ve I’ve noticed about him when he’s not playing. of them in a a game like this where it gets away from you early and the team is made up of a lot of guys who they’re going to go elsewhere as of this right these are not teammates who played for a long time how do you keep people together how do you stay positive and kind of keep everybody in the same boat together um like you said like most of us is not going to be here together and also this is the first time most of us are playing together so um I mean we just we just try to help everyone understand like the goal is to is to like win as much as possible play as hard as possible. Today we didn’t do that. Um we started slow and um and we kind of it kind of hurt us towards the end. But um try to have everyone understand the goal for every game. Even maybe we’re not shooting our best, but we got to be out there playing our giving our all out effort, you know. So, um trying to have guys understand the goal is to play hard every day and give our
