Walsh's job is not scoring while he often shares the floor with JT and PG.

“I'm on the court with JT, D. White, PG, and Mitch a lot of the time. So my job isn't to go score the ball, necessarily. That's not my role.”

Poeltl's offensive load ebbs and flows based on how many playmakers are healthy.

“I feel like it just depends on who out there for us what our offensive game plan looks like... we just don have as many like creators out there So I feel like I have to do a little bit more In other games we have a lot of guys out there that can make stuff happen and I feel like I take more of a passive role”

Poeltl credits Shead's downhill pace for creating easy scoring opportunities.

“the way he plays, that fast downhill style just opens up the defense and gives me the opportunity, because the pass comes quick... Gives me the opportunity for quick finishes and floaters and stuff like that.”
