• Quinndary Weatherspoon gives an update: “Training camp has been easier just with the preparation we’ve put in.”
• On the Draymond fallout: “first couple days it was kinda shaky…everybody on the team has been rallying around trying to keep a high spirit.”
• On his threes: “came a long way…confidence has come a long way…coming into the NBA I kinda lost that confidence…(GSW) coaches just encouraging me…work with a lot of them, Jama was the most I worked with, but I worked with a lot of coaches (on GSW staff).”
• On meshing with the vets: “We’ve been here, the young guys, we’ve been here all summer…know the plays…last year the young guys we didn’t really know the plays…that’s why the competition is so high right now because we were here early.”
• On mentoring the younger guys: “share with them what I’ve learned…four years…Coach Pop and Coach Kerr.”
• On what he’s heard from the coaching staff on his progress: “keep defending…be consistent as possible.”
