CHAPTERS/TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 Dario Saric on first impressions: “I mean, a lot of things are just automatically. So let's say some plays doesn't go through. The guys already knows what to do. They just flip around and play different kinds of more different kinds of actions. So you can see the footprint. They've been together for a long time, the coach and main players, so it's just amazing to see the winning team, to be part of that and see the culture where they have just like totally different — how they approach to the things. So, happy to be here and to hear that kind of experience for now.”
0:54 on working with Dejan Milojevic (“Decky”) and Ron Adams: “It's been great, obviously, coming from the similar culture, similar background from Europe. His advice is every day just like helping me a lot to be better, try to improve my game, step by step, nothing is not going to happen, like, over the one night. Ron, we know each other since I was like, kid, 13-, 14-year-old. So we were in the same camp in Barcelona, so we have, like, kind of history together. So it's been pleasure, obviously. They know a lot and working with them, it's just the opportunity for me to improve my game… He knows what I was doing when I was kid, how is the mindset of the guys coming from the part of Europe than, let's say, the mindset of the people who grew up here, so he's different kind of mindset. He knows how to talk. He knows what I've been through, so it's kind of get easier to get along about the things we do on the court.”
2:23 on Steph saying recently that it was easy to do a natural DHO with him: “I think yes. So obviously it's just beginning, but obviously in time is gonna show us by think like the old guys, have high IQ and sometimes just naturally, the ball is going their way. You need to do that thing, especially if you have like shooter like Steph, you try to find the plays and the moves for him to get him open. So you're gonna do everything going on the court in that moment to get Steph open. So kind of like having that mindset, kind of like helps me to fit with the team. Obviously I have my strengths, I'm going to try to prove and try to find the space for me, too, but like this high-level IQ team which is like most important thing: We play fast, you know what I mean? I think it's just ball is going so fast. The moves, the actions, the cuts is, like, needs to be violent. So I think what we're doing right now and I think like whole team is going to have trouble to guard it. Obviously, when is the time to play five-on-five and is the time to slow down, get the ball to Steph, to Chris to play their own game to play the pick-and-roll, we're going to do it. But I think the motion-wise and how we move and how we play like team basketball is going to be big for us this season. I think we'll be showing right now. I think we're doing pretty much good. So still a lot of things to improve and I think we'll be playing together more, it’s going to be easier for us, we're going to improve more that particular, like team game, sharing the ball, set the screen, DHOs, you know, kind of just play on the fly, let's say like that.”
4:26 on if it’s been a seamless transition considering he’s a high-IQ player: “this is the maybe best team for me to fit in…And I really like the kind of basketball when you have like five guys quite dangerous in every moment to score the ball, it gets easier for other guys, it gets easier for Steph, and if I score one three points gonna sometimes people need to think about me, so he's gonna give more maybe space, more for Steph and Klay, that kind of stuff. Everybody needs to do their own job and I think should be like great season for us.”
5:50 on being the 4-man in the system, the spacing and being open at the top of the key last Saturday: “so many options…high-IQ-level players…the spacing”
6:47 Cory Joseph on if the back injury is what kept him out of the World Cup
7:25 on being a mentor to Podziemski
8:15 on who his vet was in San Antonio: “Tony Parker…TJ Ford…Manu, Tim Duncan”
8:36 on if he expects to play on Friday: “Whatever they tell me”
8:51 on if there’s any parallels between the 2014 championship Spurs and the ball movement of these Warriors
9:37 on the similar systems
10:17 on what he was able to do today, considering the injured back: “Just the drills …It was a full practice for me”
