People that kind of fit the way he sees the game to be played.

And that's why it's kind of easier to pick older, some older guys, some more established guys.

They know who they kind of are.

They know their lane they need to stay in.

They're not really trying to prove anything like a 19 or 18 or 20 year old or 18 become a 19 or 20 year old.

Um, so those, what you would call plug and play guys, they've had been given the opportunity because Steve trusts them.

Their IQ is good enough.

Um, you know, injuries have come about, you know, where, Hey, we want to play this guy.

And I think Steve takes the first, you know, 20 or 30 games to kind of tinker with what's going on there.

You know, our team as well as anybody probably better than most is, you know, playing 12 or 13 guys a night is not uncommon for Steve.

Yeah.

Well, with Guy, but that process was a little bit different because we took him, you know, he didn't play his first, you know, he was in Santa Cruz, so he really wasn't even in our contract.

It was kind of a draft and stash, and we knew that.

And then we kind of built him through the player development.

But once he got on the floor, Steve was like, you can kind of help me do some cutting and some rebounding and you play hard.

And like,

you know, eight minutes here, 10 minutes there, and then all of a sudden, now he's starting.

So this is a first.

I think it's one of those, like, I can't talk about him yet because he may get better, and then I wasn't wrong.

you've been doing it as long as you've been doing it do you scout yourself do you take yourself through the process of like how did i get this player wrong because i imagine sometimes too it's like hey we got the guy in the building and we knew immediately like wait a minute this isn't this isn't the kind of guy so take me through that yeah i mean perfect example i mean one of the things we do as a staff um we call it look back we usually take probably the four or five years so this just here recently uh we did the 2020 draft which james wiseman talked about
