Confident, comfortable, not thinking the game, just playing it.

And tonight he got to get 34 minutes.

He's eligible.

Well, the other question about it, though, is, and it's similar to Peyton Watson, is what would he take at this moment?

Because as much as he's played well this season in somewhat limited role, you know, he's this or that, I don't know that he's shown a lot.

Oh, I don't know that he's shown a lot that other teams are looking at him right now saying whatever.

So it comes down to the same it was with P. Watt.

If you sign him now, he hasn't really made money yet in his career, relatively speaking.

He still made millions off his rookie contract, but he hasn't made the big one.

And sometimes you just blink and say, like, I can guarantee myself $15 million, even though it's not a great deal and I think I can get more.

I can guarantee I have enough money to be fine in life and a baseline.

And so that's, I think, the negotiation you go into and see how it plays out.

I like Julian.

He's definitely won me over a lot.

I was fully out on Julian, you know, coming into this year.

He's won me back to where I'm intrigued.

I still think his skill set to me is one that is...

I still need to see more.

If Denver gave him a big extension or something, I counted on lose P. Watt and just replace him with him.

I'd be like, yeah, he's not quite proven to do the things that you necessarily need.
