CHAPTERS/TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 on if he thinks about getting their road record right: “…I should say first we know we have to win road games to be a good team compete in the west and try to fight for seeding throughout the course of the season. Obviously correct what went wrong last year is important but we're not really talking about it in that respect. It’s more the sense of urgency on us trying to figure out what we look like this year, how we come together on both sides of the ball, build our chemistry which has been going on for a while now. So, excited about figuring out whatever the game within the game is on a nightly basis within the preseason, to just feel good about ourselves going into the season. If we can develop an identity over these next four games, knowing that we're gonna be trying a lot of different stuff that will carry over to the regular season, where you can have a lot more confidence that you can do what we did last year.”
1:21 on what the identity is that he wants: “Smart basketball team that is connected. Coach has been saying that since he first got back from Team USA, talking about our team is we need to be connected. We need to be in a position where we all complement each other and we're out there on the floor. Obviously what CP brings, another great ball-handler. somebody that can help orchestrate the offense. We have some more veterans on top of JK and Moses taking the next step in their young careers. We’ll probably have some surprise guys, crack the rotation and help us. So it’s gonna be by committee like it always has when we win, but I think a high-IQ basketball team, to understand we're not gonna have many more cracks at this, so we got to figure out how to do it, to do it now.
2:19 on who has surprised him so far in training camp: “I mean [pauses], BP — guys that you don't know, you expect Klay to ball, you expect Loon to do what he does. You expect Wiggs to come back and assert his dominance on both ends of the floor, like GP to be a disrupter out there. All the guys that we know, you don't take it for granted. But you expect those guys to do what they do and when they have flashes, it's supposed to be doing that. Myself included. The young guys obviously get an opportunity. JK has been playing really well in practice. And they had a great first preseason game. BP really has been showing how much he understands the game of basketball at such a young age and how confident he is in himself. And that shows every time he steps on the floor, so that's a nice surprise. But I just like the energy around here from everybody. So that's been the biggest thing.”
3:31 on what he’s seen in camp that lets him know the partnership with Chris Paul will work
4:54 on if he’s made a point to talk every day to CP3 and watch film together
6:47 on what Klay has meant to the success of his career
7:38 on if there’s an origin story as to why his name is pronounced “Steffen” as opposed to “Steven”: “You gotta ask Jack and Juanita Curry out of Grottoes, Virginia. My pops was born, he was Stephen Curry I, I guess you’d say. The Wardell name is a family name that’s been passed down but, yeah, I don't know where they got the pronunciation for it. I suffered my whole childhood. Everybody called me ‘Steven’. They read it on the paper. Still, to this day, I get it every once in a while. So I was contemplating putting a little accent on my name in high school, just being funny, just to make sure people didn’t mispronounce it.”
9:06 on the GM survey
10:16 on what he thinks about them not picking the Warriors for the title: “I repeat what Coach said.” (See https://youtu.be/ESrJpz_FT5s)
