consistently. Um, you know, it’s important, you know, that’s something I’ve been working on um throughout college to now, you know, with my, uh, pre-draft. It’s kind of something that I’ve been, uh, focusing on a little bit more, you know, and it just feels good that it’s kind of paying off a little bit. You tied your career high from college for makes from three in a game with four, but you took 11, which is like twice as many more as you ever took in college. How did it feel to take double digit threes in one game? Uh, I mean that’s my first time doing that, but you know, they give me the utmost confidence um to shoot, you know, so I’m letting it go. Um, the coaches, my coaches, my teammates, you know, if I get a open little bit of space, they’re telling me to let it go. So that’s what I’m doing. And what’s the origin of the phone celebration for anyone who doesn’t know? Means call God league. I mean, I had what 14 probably I mean you know, not just the number, but you know, Yeah. I mean, the activity. Yeah. I mean, I kind of play with a little bit more energy today. Maybe uh some of them came a little bit easier, but I mean, I think it was maybe I’ll say that. Yeah. Question was about uh what is his uh is standing out to you the most among him? How has been your relationship like with him so far? You know, he’s kind of quiet, but you know, he’s a uh he got to make a lot of jokes. uh you know like once you get normal once he opens up a little bit. So we have we have uh we’re have a grown relationship you know um he’s very active you know on the offensive glass you know defensively he can switch one through five so you know he’s very um he a good piece for us as well. Why do you think why do you think you play with more energy today? Um, I mean, I think just just getting more comfortable, kind of like I said last time, finding my role, finding my niche, you know, for the Sixers, you know. Um, then again, we had Justin, BJ, and Bona out, you know, so it kind of opened up opportunities for somebody have to make plays in order for us to win. Is this the pace that you guys kind of been getting at, you know, while we’re trying to, you know, get up and down? Got a lot of shots up tonight. For sure. and he wants to get up and down, uh, run the floor, you know, shoot open shots, you know, just get them up, you know, uh, eventually they’re going to start going in. Um, so he just encourages to keep shooting. What do you think it’s going to be like to play back tobacks like this regularly in the NBA? It’s definitely something you’re used to. You know, uh, I probably play what, seven games in two weeks um, between Utah and here. So um, you know, the guys are telling me like this is what it’s going to be like for the rest of your life. So, uh, it going to take some getting used to, but, you know, it’s nothing I can’t handle. Experience been from draft night to now. I mean, it’s amazing. You know, I want to trade it in from, you know, going to Philly to going to Utah to coming here, you know, to being around these guys, you know, it’s been very fun, you know, um, and I’m just excited to keep growing as a player. And there was a play there in the second half where you drilled a three from the left wing and it looked like you and Cooper were laughing, smiling when you celebrated, looked his way. Could you walk us through that play? Yeah, I mean I just hit a three and did a call got. But you know, we’re both in CA, so uh during like the pre-draft, we spent a lot of time together, you know, working out and things like that. So I just kind of made a little comment to him. Overall, what do you think? Yes, sir. What do you think of Cooper’s game? What you saw in the two games that he did play? Um, you know, he’s a very talented player. You know, he went number one for a reason. You know, he’s very special. Uh he’s very versatile going offensively and defensively. So, um I mean you know what know what you get from them with with y’all having that off relationship. Can we anticipate some good battles between y’all? For sure down the road. Cheers.
