J-Mac (Jason McIntyre)

I think with this kid over time, you know, I think he's going to put the work in.

When you look at like his offseason last year, I mean, he went to the Shaolin Monks tournament.

to get better, to look for a mental edge, right?

He worked out with Hakeem Olajuwon.

I think that this summer, you know, he needs to, you know, continue to work with some of the greats.

You know, one of the guys that I would specifically think that he should go work out with is a guy like Dirk Nowitzki to kind of help him figure out a post shot that he can guarantee, know that 100 out of 100 times when he gets to this spot and get the ball right here, he's going to score that basketball.

At the end of the day, the kid is very raw offensively, and that's just the reality that we all kind of have to deal with.

And it's because he's young.

He's 22 years old.

I heard you talking about the gambling thing.

Wait till he's 25.

When he's 25, oh, my God.

I don't think anybody's going to want to see him, and I don't care how much he weighs.

He's just going to continue to get better year after year.

And I think with this playoff run this summer, it allowed him to sit down with whoever he works out with and whoever's responsible for helping him become a better player.

They're going to have so many different things that they're going to be able to figure out where he can get better.

And I expect him next season to be a better version of the player that we've seen this year.

He's a good coach, man.

He was always a great guy.

He's a guy that you wanted to play for.
