00:00 What did you think of Bryce's first start?
00:03 I thought Bryce did a pretty good job.
00:05 Had a couple of nice drives with some physicality.
00:09 Was happy with his defensive rebounding tonight.
00:11 That's been a big emphasis for him,
00:13 is kind of participating in all the things that aren't scoring.
00:17 And I thought overall, he did a good job defensively.
00:20 Still got to work on some technique stuff
00:22 and directing the ball and pick and roll.
00:25 But Bryce is playing hard.
00:27 He's learning.
00:29 He's letting us coach him hard.
00:32 And I think he's showing the ability to learn on the fly.
00:36 Like he's able to pick things up in a game, which
00:40 I've said to you guys before, is always a good sign as a coach.
00:43 How do you think he handled being with the closing group,
00:46 with it being a close game and the crowd's going crazy?
00:51 Yeah, I thought he did a good job.
00:53 We're obviously playing mostly in those moments
00:56 through JC and Colin.
00:59 He made a really tough pull up going left, which I thought
01:02 was a big play for us.
01:04 He definitely didn't look shy.
01:06 So that coupled with his execution at the end,
01:13 doing what he was supposed to do on those last two plays,
01:16 I think Bryce showed some maturity being out there
01:20 at the end of the game and definitely not looking out
01:23 of place.
01:24 Like I mean this in a good way.
01:25 I didn't notice Bryce at the end of the game.
01:29 And generally when you're not running actions
01:33 through somebody, not noticing them
01:36 can mean that they're doing their job very well.
