What coaches and players say about roles, minutes, gameplans and development.
LeBron is on a 16 to 18 minute limit for now and how he gets there is flexible.
โIt was going to be first half minutes, right? ... So a nine minute stint is seven, you know, what would be a normal one or six and a half or something. ... And to get to that number, 16, 18 minutes, it doesn't really matter how you do it right now.โ
Coaches and Lillard are urging Morant to stay aggressive and look for his own scoring in Portland.
โtalking with the coaches last night today and then with Dame yesterday, they were telling me to stay aggressive. Obviously when I'm playing like me, it opens up a lot more on the floor for everybody else.โ
Cade Cunningham could play more off the ball in some games while keeping the same touches.
โI think there's times in games, depending on teams, how they're defending us and how they're defending him, that we could do more with him off the ball and allow him, you know, to hide a little bit more and then come to the action. And still get the same amount of touches and usage for them. And I think it's important that we diversify that for them.โ
Wagler will get a lot of reps and learn through playing more than instruction.
โwe're going to have a lot of reps for him, so he's going to learn a lot with his play instead of us just teaching him so much.โ
Wagler is in for heavy minutes with the Clippers and will learn on the job.
โhe's going to learn a lot because he's going to play a lot for us.โ
