McCain is working on offensive reads and defensive positioning against bigger lineups.

“I think for me personally, there's always room for improvement in terms of offensively finding the right reads and defensively being in the right time. I'm a smaller guard, so, and they got big, big, bigs. So being able to be early on low man, and rebounding, just helping out when I can when they're boxing out, being able to come over the top and smack the rebound.”

McCain's confidence and shooting aggression remain steady despite poor three-point percentages.

“His ability to stay confident really in all situations is impressive... His three-point percentage coming into the game is not reflective of how good of a shooter he is. And yet it has not changed his aggression one bit... you play as many minutes as Jared's playing right now, you play the role he's playing right now, there's going to be ups, there's going to be downs.”

Gilgeous-Alexander says Wagler's shooting and feel should let the game slow down.

“Usually when you have those things, the game will slow down for you eventually. Yeah, I mean, he's in a good situation, he can play a lot.”

Jones plans to deny the left side and contest the opponent's step-back jump shot.

“For me, I know he likes to go left and get to his step back, but I just try to keep him on the right side of the floor and just get a contest up. I mean, he's an MVP of this league for a reason, so we know what he's going to do on the offensive end and try to score a lot, but for me, I just try to get a contest.”

Gradey Dick's confidence is rising alongside his increased role in the rotation.

“It's really good to see his confidence going up, and the minutes are going up as well because he's playing so well and having confidence in himself.”

“Ty Lue said he closed with Gradey Dick because that's what was working in the 4th quarter.”
