TRANSCRIPT/COMMENTS:
00:00 You're back, huh? Brett's a Packers fan, so. Pack is back. Happy day, though. Yeah.
00:12 Steve, do you have a new starting lineup to announce?
00:15 Yeah, Steph and Draymond will not play tonight, so BP, Melt, Moses, JK, Trayce.
00:26 What are-- who are you looking forward to seeing tonight in Steph and Draymond's absence?
00:32 Everybody, everybody. We've got a deep team and this will open up a lot of minutes and I'm excited to see them all play.
00:41 Is there still an opportunity for Andrew to earn a starting spot? I know there's those three competition-- or those three spots and then you've got the reset week and a half basically after today. But where is everything with that process? And can he still earn a spot? Is there still time?
00:55 Yeah, he scrimmaged today with the group that we-- that was available for that and he'll practice tomorrow and he'll play Tuesday and, absolutely, that's still on the table.
01:10 You talked this preseason about wanting to see guys together with combinations work. With Steph and Draymond, obviously, you're trying to see who plays well with them, but is tonight a chance-- like, what is the unit look like when they're both out, kind of a second unit kind of feel to this?
01:27 Not necessarily. I anticipate Buddy will be on the floor when Steph's not, when we start the regular season, just for obvious reasons. So I could have started Buddy, but I really wanted to see Moses, JK, Trayce, the young guys with BP and Melton. Melton really connects the game well for others, and I want to see all of our young guys. I want to see them take the next step and playing well together, playing for each other, all that kind of stuff.
02:00 And forgive me if you've been asked this before, but have you decided you need a backup point, someone who is the backup point guard? And would that be Brandin at this point?
02:08 Well, Brandin and De'Anthony Melton are both capable of being the backup point, and there's a good chance they'll play together to share the ball handling responsibilities. But Kyle Anderson's a point- forward. Draymond's a point- forward. So we've got options. It's just not going to be as sort of clear as it was last year, where Chris (Paul) was going to play all the non- Steph minutes.
02:35 What has Pat Spencer given to the program so far in the preseason?
02:39 Smart, tough. He's been with us now for over a year. So he's got a way of, I think, two years now-- so he's got a way of making people better because he understands the game and when he's out there, we tend to play well. I thought the last five minutes of the game the other night were a perfect example. We just got into a really good rhythm and flow and Pat's a big part of that.
03:06 Just don't want to assume anything. Are Steph and Draymond okay? Is this just a rest night for them?
03:10 It's a rest night for Draymond. Steph jammed the finger the other night, so probably would have rested anyway, just preseason. He wasn't going to play all six, but given that he hurt his finger, he can use the extra couple of days.
03:32 Hi, Steph. I mean, Steve. I know it's just preseason.
03:35 Hi Rick, I mean, Ryan.
03:38 Sorry, I'm still rusty. I know it's just preseason, but you guys are undefeated. How much importance do you place on the team's record during a preseason?
03:46 We don't place a lot of importance on it, but it definitely feels better to win. We were terrible the other night for 43 minutes, and that was the incorrect result, based on the two teams' performance, respective performances, but still felt a lot better for our young guys to go out there and pull it out.
