TRANSCRIPT (SEE COMMENTS FOR FULL):
00:00 How was practice today? It seemed like it went pretty long with the scrimmage and the film session afterwards.
00:06 KEVON LOONEY: Yeah, it was a pretty long one, but it was good. We got a couple of days before our first game, so we wanted to be — go over everything, make sure we know our plays and our defensive schemes and make sure we're locked in on everything. It's good to get up and down, blow it out a little bit, so it was fun.
00:21 It seemed like today was kind of like the last day before the season starts, just in terms of all the work you're going to do. How much have you seen this group grow from Day One until now?
00:33 I think we've grown a lot. I think for training camp, this has probably been the best that we probably communicated. Everybody's out there talking. We're loud on defense. We're talking to offense. For us to have so many new guys, that's kind of unique. We're picking things up pretty fast. And I think our offense and our defense has grown a lot since our first day of training camp in Hawaii. So, we still got a lot to work on, but we're going fast.
00:59 What have been the keys to implementing, new players and whatnot? What are the, I guess, what's that process look like?
01:07 I think the biggest thing is communicating. Communicating what's new, what we're used to. I think Steve's doing a great job of, he's been mixing up groups and lines, so everybody has a chance to kind of play with each other, get a feel for each other and kind of know how guys play on offense and defense. I think when you mix it up like that, you're able to kind of build and get to know the new guys instead of being just separated and just being in different groups. So, I think the — Steve mixing it up and that's just talking, adding a new coach in Stack (Jerry Stackhouse). Terry (Stotts) been really talkative and implementing what they want to talk about what they want to see on both sides of the court. I think it's been great.
01:45 What have you seen from Steve just in terms of his competitive — like, what ways have you seen his competitiveness come out these last few weeks since you guys got back together?
01:54 Steve's been — he's been great. He's been really locked in. He's been on us. He's been pushing us in every practice. He's holding us accountable for everything, for the turnovers, missing rotations, small things that maybe he maybe wouldn't have got on us in the past. Maybe it's in a drill where somebody step out of bounds, he's on everything. He's about the details right now, about our cuts, about our screens, about getting in two feet and making the right passes, all those little things he's caring about. He's been on us. I think it's gonna translated for us. And I think each other, from Draymond, Steph to the rookies like QP, we all hold each other accountable for the small things.
02:31 You talked about the communication for so many years when that core group was together. There didn't need to be a lot of communication. It was so much unspoken. But with Klay not here, a lot of new young faces. Is that maybe the most important thing for you guys right now, is being able to communicate on both ends?
02:48 Definitely. We got new guys and we kind of doing some new schemes on defense and offense. Having communication that we're all on the same page is important. We used to thrive on chaos in the past, where it was kind of more random and we could do whatever. We just knew how to…
