um first of all good morning um i appreciate lano for asking me to come in um i feel very privileged to speak in front of so many of you there's so many great basketball minds in one room and i just feel incredibly fortunate to share i guess part of my journey and what i've learned along the way and i think when it comes to evaluating talent It's kind of something we don't talk enough about when we're selecting teams, whether we're a coach, a performance manager, whatever the case may be.

It's kind of part of the game that almost goes unspoken about and it becomes almost understood how to evaluate talent.

So I would like this to work a little bit more as an open conversation rather than me talking at you for 45 minutes at 8.30 in the morning.

So if you have questions along the way, please feel free to interrupt, raise your hand, and we can have that open discussion.

I think it'll be a lot more effective as we go on.

As Lano said, I've worked for the Dallas Mavericks for the last four years.
