So as I hit the ground, we're not starting from obviously ground zero.

I want to obviously bolster our staff.

I want to add to our strategy space.

I want to add to our personnel space.

I think that's necessary.

But look, we've got a long way obviously to go and there's a lot of decisions that are gonna be made.

But I think right now where we're at, I think we're in a good place and I'll get started on that here pretty soon.

Michael touched on your eye for talent evaluation.

You hear that basically in every conversation around the league about you.

How do you think you develop that skill, and how do you continue honing that skill as the game evolves?

I think this experience, you know, from playing and then working in the video room, that really, really was helpful, like extremely helpful.

So my second year in the league, Monty Williams, who's someone who I, you know,

really look up to.

And he was a mentor of mine early on.

I was his video coordinator and I also worked in player development on the court.

And so watching a ton of film and understanding how the NBA game is played, um, that really, really helped me develop it.

And then also, I'm not going to lie to you.

So much of it is also like your intuition, you know, like

So much of the experience of watching games, watching players, remembering certain things about certain players, and you've been around long enough, you can draw inference from one player to the next.

So you can say, oh man, he's just like X player that didn't make it, or he's just like this player that did make it.
