TRANSCRIPT (SEE COMMENTS FOR FULL):
00:00 I'm sorry?
00:06 Starters.
00:07 Yeah, Anthony (Slater) already reported it. So, he was right.
00:11 Yeah, what did you like about that combination in particular? Because that's a lot of what we've been talking about is how do we — how do you not only get the best five guys to start, but then also to make the most cohesive rotation and second unit.
00:27 I mean, I'm looking to see if that group can set a tone defensively. Obviously, very athletic group, a lot of size. We've got rim protection with Draymond and Trayce those two were really good defensively together last year. And it's gonna require us to execute offensively and play downhill, play fast, and we — they did a good job in the two preseason games. We played them together. So hopefully continues to look good and we'll give it a shot.
01:07 Do you think you want to see a runway with this group? Like, I know, I'm sure you're not thinking of like an exact number of games, but I'm sure you're also not just thinking of one game. How it goes tonight dictates it? Like, how do you view how long you want to see it?
01:20 I hope this group starts all year. That's — that would be the hope, but we'll start this way and we'll go from there.
01:27 You've talked about how, with the starting combination, you hope the starting combination makes sense and then the second unit also makes sense. How does this combination work in terms of the bench too?
01:40 The, the bench has been phenomenal in the preseason, almost regardless of who we've played because we've got so many guys who were worthy of playing. But all those combinations have looked good. And so I'm excited to bring those guys off the bench. And we're gonna play a lot of people and try to play fast. And we'll see if we can put together really good two-way combinations and go from there.
02:14 How comfortable do you feel at this stage with some of the stuff that Terry (Stotts)'s put in?
02:18 We're getting there. We're definitely more organized this this year, I think, than we've been in the past. Terry's been a huge part of that. He's added so much to to our staff and given us some different stuff that we're excited about. But he's such a good coach, in so many ways, that it's been been fantastic to have him. I'm excited for him to be back here. He's gonna get a huge ovation, I'm sure, and he deserves it.
02:48 You and Terry had a lot of battles over the years when he was head coach here. Now that he's on your staff, did you two talk about those memories at all when you were coming back here?
02:56 A few, yeah. I think we met in the playoffs three or four times, but we've had a few discussions about some of those matchups and there's a reason I hired him. I always thought his teams were really well-coached, well-organized. I like the offensive style. I think our vision of the game is similar in terms of player and ball movement. But they did some different things than us. And I wanted to incorporate some of those things with our team. And so, obviously, it's very early, but we're getting there. I think we're trying to build our identity and figure out exactly who we are. But Terry's really been a huge help in that regard.
03:43 This might be a wider question, but you talk about organization, and I know that random basketball is like a buzzword-y term. How do you kind of balance that need to be organized…
