“It’s been great. Not only as a father but as a student of the game, to see someone use what he was able to do last in the G League, use that, get more comfortable, then go into Summer League and be even more comfortable and when his time has been called this year, just continue to feel good about it. I think, for a young player, the more and more time that you get, the better you get.
“The more and more the nuances you get. You get better with the speed, you get better with the strength, you get better with everything. I think in those games where Luka was out or AR was out or Marcus was out…I was just super proud of him of the maturation process of him being able to not only play well at home and then have a back-to-back in a tough environment in Portland and then do it again. That’s what the NBA is all about.”
