6:45 Klay Thompson after practice Monday on how he feels the team looks: “I'm really excited. I think the team looks great. I think preseason and training camp are great for us just to work on things that we consider weaknesses and I think with knowing the games count going forward, that just kind of unlocks another level of competitiveness We need to have a great start.
7:18 on how the defense has to get better: “I think what will happen is getting Draymond back in the lineup is awesome, just because he's one of the greatest defenders of all time. And then, on top of that, just continuing to play with high levels of energy, which can be hard throughout a training camp and preseason, because of the workload you endure. So coming Tuesday night, I think you'll see a much better defensive effort than you've seen previously, these last two weeks.”
8:08 on what he liked and didn’t like about his preseason, individually: “I loved it. And what I liked about it, I was playing basketball. I haven’t played preseason basketball since — I can't even remember — 2019? So I loved it.”
8:27 on Kuminga: “…His shotmaking is looking like it’s going to another level, especially in the mid-range. I've always said he had a great-looking shot and now to see him making it at a higher rate just shows he's been working really hard. So teams used to sag off him. I don't think they’ll be able to do that as much this season, especially from the corners and we obviously know how great of an athlete he is when he's getting downhill or elevating above the rim. So I just look forward to him making a huge leap this year and being a two-way player that has great ability on both sides of the ball and a future staple in this lineup for years to come.”
9:38 Marcus Thompson mentions it’s been five years, actually, 2018 was your last preseason game. Klay: “Ha! I didn’t play in 2019?” MT: “You did not, sir.” Klay: “That's wild. Wow. Five years, man… The years just makes the — Wow, it’s a blessing. Wow! Sorry.”
10:05 on how well Chris Paul has adjusted to the nuances of playing with Steph: “Chris has been great. He gives Steph a break from handling the ball responsibilities and is such a smart player. I learn something new from him every day. And yeah, that's going to be a dynamic duo going forward, just from both guys operating the pick-and-roll. And we know Steph is equally as good coming off screens off the ball. So Chris is just going to give us a whole new dimension as far as allowing Steph and I to play off the ball, kind of like Draymond does, but even Wiggs with his cutting. So just another great facilitator who's going to cut down turnovers and run offenses smoothly.”
10:59 on working with assistant coach Anthony Vereen: “Man, I love AV. I've known Anthony a long time because he played with my brother in Santa Cruz … never really relied on his athleticism to be the player he was, so he is great at teaching the fundamentals and I know he's been working real close with Jonathan. And I think he helped him polish that pump fake that’s so lethal for him now. So he is just a great addition to the staff and he's a joy to be around every day. (Looks around and assumes there’s no further questions.) Nice.”
12:02 on working with assistant coach Chris DeMarco for what seems like forever: “…he wasn't the most athletic player. So it's easier for him to relate to guys who got to get by by doing the gritty stuff. Sometimes I gotta get gritty, whether it's playing defense or playing with a lot of heart, emotion”
12:43 on the Western Conference being really deep this year
13:27 on picking the Vikings or Niners for Monday Night Football (Klay will be a guest on ManningCast): “I got the 49ers. Yeah, they’re rolling.”
