Jamal Collier

It is a, it's still a pretty unproven coach with a roster.

We're not sure what he's going to look like and not sure what his expectations are going to be, uh, over the next handful of years.

So, uh,

I think the process was pretty good and reason to be encouraged right now, but I kind of am waiting to see until he gets some more games under his belt with a different

With this roster, whatever it's going to look like.

But it gave a lot, I think, to be excited about after that first press conference as well.

You know, less than what he said.

I think that mostly the fact that, you know, him and Bryson, I think several times talked about basically in, I believe in these exact terms, they had to build an organization, you know, that they were on the same page as far as trying to sort of build this thing.

And Bryson has been pretty upfront about that, that they're starting at the ground floor.

So I think even thinking about the way that the team made the playoffs, the playoffs is not going to sort of be the objective or shouldn't be the objective for

for this team next year.

Like there's a possibility that things sort of break, right.

Um, I guess it gets to the playoffs, but even sort of thinking that far ahead, like this is a team that really needs to start development, developing its players, uh, trying to find a sort of a central focus for their roster to be around.

And that obviously comes pretty easily with the draft coming up next week and the draft pick that they have.

But, uh,

You know, it just, it's going to be hard to judge exactly where Splitter, you know, I don't think his record is going to tell the story here in these next couple of years, based on everything we've heard so far from Bryson and based on what we've seen from this team the last few years as well.

I mean, we, you can just see the state of the roster, the state of the team, just, you know, looking at it.

So I think things that will fit out to me, as I said, it's just those guys being upfront about that.

They know they have to build an organization and,

almost retrain everybody in the habits and try to find an identity.
