Jared Weiss

Can I just get to the rim and just affect the rim?

Because the one thing you can do is you can stand there and just hold a bunch of people off and just hit the ball to somebody.

And no matter what is going on in this game, he can always at least smack the ball out of the air towards somebody.

And so that's how you get warmed up.

That's how you get into the game.

He doesn't usually, from what I can think of off the top of my head, he doesn't usually start trying to hit turnaround jumpers and stuff like that.

He tries to start in motion.

He tries to start with post-ups with the intention of getting off of it.

Or they just let other people kind of open the game up and he's just trying to make a difference there because you want him in control of the ball to be the second thing you go to so that when the team, when the opponent thinks they're in a rhythm, that's when you go to the thing that they can't handle.

Right.

Not a Wemby answer.

I think I owe Steph an apology because I think when I came on this show before the season, I questioned whether he was really going to be an all-star caliber player.

I was dead wrong.

Apologies, Steph.

I mean, clearly, he's on that track.

His motor is not a surprise.

He's got an insane motor.

His athleticism is very Dwayne Wade-esque with the way he just hangs in the air.

He's got a lot of D-Wade to his game, frankly.

Finishing is really important.
