LALJake LaRaviaDevelopment𝕏 Beat40m

LaRavia's small shooting tweaks have him confident and that confidence has carried into games.

“I think Jake had a really nice base and foundation to shoot with, so it wasn't like he was completely revamping his shot on those small tweaks. And ultimately, the tweaks don't matter if they don't give you confidence. And so I feel like he's shooting the ball with a lot of confidence right now, and he feels confident in his shot. [He's had] a great summer shooting the ball, has had a great training camp of practices shooting the ball, and that's carried over to games.”

LALLuka DončićDevelopment𝕏 Beat3d

Dončić has gotten more in rhythm every day of camp and is still building game shape.

“I think we've seen him like literally every day in camp just like incrementally just get more and more in rhythm. So I think for him, you know, throughout this preseason, that's sort of the goal. It's the goal for all the guys, but particularly for him is, you know, continue to build that game shape and then continue to build his offensive rhythm.”
