What were your biggest takeaways from just what you saw?
2:58
Ugo's passing.
3:00
I thought even in the FIBA two games that he played over there that the passing, like the craft, all that stuff was just so, so heightened.
3:13
So obviously I don't – I want his – He didn't shoot that great, which I kind of expected, but he had that, I think that was the Kings game where he shot three for nine from three.
3:25
So that's kind of where, like, if he's in a time where he's, like, the top option, which is never going to happen, it's like he's going to shoot, like, that's cool with me.
3:36
But his pass and his rebound were, like, incredible.
3:39
The defense is, you know, is always there.

Let me see.
11:04
Yeah.
11:04
And as soon as he is in, he changes the entire game, which he did in a game s- seven.
11:09
And then in the s- second half he plays two minutes, which is like, I don't really understand that.
11:17
And also in game seven I think we first tried, um, [lips smack] Derrick White off of Maxi, which Derrick has been one of the most impactful guys on that side the entire year, and it was mostly off, like, him playing, playing help, which I thought was definitely gonna be the thing going into this.
11:39
Um, you have guys like Walsh, Shamet, and, and, and, and, uh, Ugo too, who are p- supposed to be those guys who chase.
11:52
Like, they're just chasing, you know what I'm saying? And then Derrick used his IQ and, and all that stuff.
11:58
That's something else that we just tried in game seven.
