1:28 MDJ on BP/TJD: "proven track record ... most importantly, their character ... great fits for the Warrior program."
2:12 on staying in the Bay: "A lot of friends back here texted me last night ... my family loves it out here ... almost like a second home"
2:35 on TJD as all-time leading rebounder, all-time leading shot blocker, No. 3 all-time in scoring: "all the time and work I put in ... Coach Woodson ... blessing to leave my small mark on that program"
3:24 on TJD tweeting "Y'all will regret it...I promise you": "always played with a chip on my shoulder, even coming out of high school, going to school like Indiana. A lot of people doubted my abilities ... I believe in my abilities and let God handle the rest ... fired up and I'm ready to go, honestly"
4:15 on BP and Warriors as "perfect marriage": "100%. A basketball player knows how to pass, when to shoot, you know, which is the embodiment of the Warriors program."
4:46 on knowing if the Warriors were interested, BP: "probably my best experience through the pre-Draft process ... felt like a family ... more of a conversation than an interrogation"
5:25 TJD: "We did an interview in Chicago, then they came and watched me in LA and then I came out the day after and worked out for them in this facility and so we built a very, very strong relationship ... does help that Mike's brother's my agent as well"
5:49 on MDJ bringing in 40 guys to work out and BP/TJD standing out: "we evaluate these guys over the whole course of their career, so it's not about one specific workout ... their willingness to come in. This day and age, there's not a lot of — we get a lot of calls from agents and there's a lack of willingness to come in and compete ... don't really remember how well they shot the ball or what they did exactly. I just remember them as the personalities ... really kind of put it over the top"
6:53 on the Warriors' development process, BP: "For me and Trayce, it’s all about being a sponge from Day One ... A lot of championships, Coach Kerr’s won nine of them"
7:34 TJD: "They like to play in space, and me and him both like to pass the ball. We're very unselfish players. It's going to be a great fit"
7:55 on Dale Davis, TJD's dad, being in the NBA with a great shooter like Reggie Miller: "just being consistent, finding a routine ... working your hardest ... He played 15, 16 years in the league"
8:23 on BP breaking out last season: "all about opportunity and confidence that my coaches gave me. I was the same player I was at Illinois
8:56 on Mike Woodson's NBA experience, via Damon Bruce for WIUS in Bloomington: "He said, enjoy it. You only get to go through this process one time ... be in the best shape of your life ... I'm gonna play my hardest every time
9:34 on TJD's passing: "I credit that to Coach Woodson ... watching film, how defenses guard and my teammates, honestly ... still areas of my game that I can improve on"
9:21 on BP averaging 8.8 rebounds a game: "In a few seasons, I think I'm a triple-double guy in the NBA. I like to fill up the boxscore every which way possible ... it's just the want to get the ball and then just when watching people shoot, how the ball bounces
10:10 on the last 24 hours, TJD: "It was crazy. About 15 hours ago I was sitting there waiting for my name to get called and then getting about three hours of sleep and hopping on a plane and coming out here. But it's been a blessing"
11:31 BP: "so blessed hear my name called quite early in the Draft ... celebrated with my family, my agency, and then hopped on a plane
11:51 BP on Jalen Williams: "Any question I ever had about the process, could be little, could be big, I just turned to him ... super-thankful to have that with him ... seeing what he did ... boosted my confidence that if he could do it, I could do it, too"
12:46 on TJD channeling his aggression: "It's just how I am, just having a switch...try to attack and just rip the rim off, honestly"
13:18 "I saw that Steph followed me on Instagram, so that was really cool"
