Back come yeah daughter’s into tennis hey who knows what could happen out of that yeah that’s righty questions what’s it what’s it like to to try to find ways to finish over wanyama you say what is it like yeah yeah yeah uh uh I mean for me personally uh from my perspective you

Know I remember the first game of the season he was uh you know entry to the league he blocked my shot you know I don’t mind that you know what I’m saying uh right side of History um but yeah he he’s just a force down there and um he

He has great timing you can tell he um really studies the game well and on defensive end you know there’s not much that he can do uh so for him to um or for me to get the best of him on that one possession it felt good but um you

Know moving in the future I don’t know how many more I can get off on him just because of how much ground he covers but it was an exciting play I’m grateful I converted it you had a few finishes over him and with him or any shot blocker

What what’s kind of the decisionmaking process for you as far as how to finish uh the first thing is no fear uh once you step in that paint uh you take off uh especially off of one Foo for two feet you want to safely land um be aware

Of the contact know how strong The Bigs are um before you attack and even if there’s a guard down there that’s a good Defender too um it’s just to limit their athletic ability I have to be crafty around the rim sometimes I could finish

Over guys but a lot of them are um you know trying to block shots when I get close to the rim so I like to play in that in between area between you know like 16 ft to like one foot you know and uh be uh very efficient down there so

When I see bigs in front of me I feel like I have an advantage AG uh when I can use the rim as protection and um I know that I can convert it at a high rate so that’s what I’m thinking when I go to the Lan just be creative be

Imaginative um but also go to finish uh had a lot of coaches growing up um you know when I was playing on their teams and and they didn’t really like or appreciate some of my creativity in the air until I made my layups at a very

High efficient rate so I I don’t blame them again um but a lot of practice I’ve been working on these finishes since about 7th eth grade is that the rod Strickland influence that is Dr Irving influence um with my uncle Rod being my godfather and um you know exemplifying greatness for

17 years in his own way uh playing in the NBA and uh I didn’t get a chance to work out with him uh when I was growing up it was mainly just me and my dad uh but I got as I got older uh I started to

Appreciating his journey a lot more um you know and he played 17 years in the NBA that’s no small feet so I’m really proud of him I’m I’m happy uh that I have a mentor in my life such as him that I can call on any single anytime um

And he gives me a ton of advice especially finish around those bigs which I appreciate you found a major rhythm in the second quarter and for the remainder of the game was there anything that you saw or anything yeah no we had to get it going man we had to get it

Going um we had to manufacture the energy to be able to get the lead uh at least going into halftime and we knew playing from behind against this team uh you know we we don’t want to leave it up to that we we wanted to put our foot on

The gas pedal get out in on the break get some easy uh transition points and let everybody touch the ball feel good about it have a good Rhythm um and then you know most importantly just locked down on defense we we started uh paying attention to our game plan in that

Second quarter a little bit more I know Sweeney and JK were happy about that but we got to demand that out of ourselves in the beginning of the game but even if it doesn’t happen we still got to have that resilience and and be able to

Battle back I feel like you I’ve seen a little more uh you and Luca Twan game over the past few games what what have you like from that what what what’s been working and and you know is that going to continue trending yeah yeah easy pickings you know easy pickings once we

We get into that one three pick and roll or 31 pick and roll or one whatever you want to call it um it’s a high efficient play for us and when I’m making a decision on the back end or he’s making a decision on the back end that’s

Successful play for our team what uh you guys are getting healthier one six in a row running in going into the break on a nice rooll how do you feel about the just the uptick you’ve seen out of this team in the last you know couple weeks

Uh proud of our guys that we’re making incremental progress and uh it’s about us and everybody that’s in that locker room and uh staying focused and continuing to get our work in on off days and and do the little things to be prepared to to play um whatever amount

Of minutes that coach asked you to so I think once we’ve matured in in that sense of of being able to lock into our roles then you’re seeing uh some highle basketball High highly successful basketball being played mention his excitement going into his first All-Star week advice for him in that area yeah

Enjoy it uh I remember my first in Orlando um you know get a chance to uh pick a lot of guys brains a lot of your peers brains and it’s about you um you know you’ve been chosen as one of the rising stars and that’s no small feat

He’s played well for us to season uh he he’s been a huge impactful player for us and I’m just happy for him that he gets to experience that being around some of the best in the world and uh really see what it’s like um sometimes it could be

Overwhelming at first once you get there a little nerve-wracking but once the ball goes up in the air and you see all the fans and and especially the kids the kids enjoy that weekend the most and I don’t want to call um de a kid because he’s turned 20 so I

Don’t want to disrespect him but um you know it’ be good for him to play in front of his peers some of the kids there Harry how how pivotal and impactful has PJ Washington’s defense been for this ball Club very impactful very impactful uh we don’t take it for

Granted and we appreciate him doing the little things for us to be successful in these last two games uh to get traded in the middle of the season is is not easy uh so we really feel for him um and going into this All-Star Break um you

Know even like tonight I told him I said you know once you play a few more games with us you you’ll stop deferring to me and Luca and just be be yourself out there and command the ball uh you’re playing with some selfless individuals that are some big Gamers so uh we know

The rhythm of the game and who needs to get involved um but tonight uh showed his maturity to be able to not shoot the ball particularly well not get as many shots not be involved in the offensive end but still commit himself to defensive end um that that that’s a um

Trait of a winner so we want him to continue that sorry um you mentioned your father earlier and he was sitting there court side what does it feel like I know it he’s been at many games but just what does it feel like for you to see and

Their Courtside supporting you and with a team that you found your peace and happiness with yeah my my dad’s proud of me he’s happy for me and I think he can speak for himself you know if you ever get a chance to to talk with him not

Many people get a chance to get to know him U Know the foundation of where I come from people just assume that I just dropped out of thin air and you know what I mean like my my parents are not involved or anything like that but my

Dad is uh truly influential in my life and he seen millions of my games so you know you guys are enjoying things that you know you get to see for the past few years but my dad has seen it since I was four or five years old so um you know

When we have our moments to talk about how I can get better those are the things I appreciate but the most important role that he plays in my life is just being a great father and being there for me as a man um he’s imperfect I’m imperfect and he’s just consistently

Giving me advice and telling me that he’s an open book he’s seen a lot of life in this world he has a lot of experience he’s been around the league for a while too you know with my godfather being the NBA so he he’s been around the lifestyle he’s very familiar

With it and um he just wants me to have peace of mind every single day I wake up and and knowing um you know I have a supportive Family behind me every single day you know this lifestyle could get very lonely sometimes when you’re in those hotel rooms or traveling and

Trying to be the best of the best not a lot of people understand not a lot of people get it so to have um you know one parent in my life or two parents with my stepmom as well um supporting me and means the world to me um going back BJ and him

Trusting you know trusting himself but I know D has talked about trust within the team how much is that factor into like games like tonight and just games overall say that first part one time about PJ yeah yeah about PJ trusting himself oh yeah yeah overall factor in like games like

Tonight and just games overall oh yeah it’s a it’s a huge Factor uh again I I’ll speak to his maturity you know we we don’t see I don’t want to say we don’t see a lot of young guys but sometimes it takes young guys a little

While it took me a while to figure out how to win uh with quality teammates and to fulfill a role without getting too emotionally stressed over playing well in the offensive end or not getting the ball especially playing with guys that are highly efficient um that’s an

Adjustment period but I feel like you know he’s integrated himself very well I know him being at Kentucky helped um you know not having the ball all the time and doing the little things so it’s the same thing here you playing with some high level players that make the game

Easy you don’t have to overthink it you know you do the the little things that help us win and we’ll be very successful and and that’s what I’m going to continue to reiterate to him when we’re out there um and then moving forward we’ll get him a few more post-ups get

Him some touches when he needs to feel that Rhythm and you that should answer all his questions yes yeah that’s it hey good first half of the Season y’all I’ll catch y’all like was like I’ll catch y’all next Wednesday Tuesday whatever man guys enjoy All Oh
