What coaches and players say about roles, minutes, gameplans and development.
Mamukelashvili plays the delay and makes reads when he is the small ball five.
“If it's a small ball five, I play the delay, I kind of make, like, right reads, and if not, then I just kind of compliment them as much as possible.”
Mamukelashvili wants to improve his rebounding and defense so he is trusted and not a liability.
“I also want to just work on my rebounding and defensively, I just want to be a guy you can trust, you know, I don't want to be liability”
Mañon got live play with the Purple team for scoring balance and has been fantastic.
“Chris on Thursday and Chris again today in live play, he's gotten some exposure with the Purple team. You know, just because we wanted to have scoring balance on both sides. So he's been fantastic the last two days in live play.”
Luka and Reaves own the mid-range while everyone else hunts the paint or threes.
“it's Luca and Austin in the mid-range, and I think everybody else is probably paint or threes. That's just, that's our team this year.”
Mañon is a hybrid defender who can guard the ball and bigger wings.
“Chris, who is, you know, kind of a hybrid, I would say, because he can guard the ball and he can scale up guard wings as well.”
