On what he liked about what they had defensively in the game, especially Jaden and Keon as they had some moments in the second half:
“That’s what they do, they really are good at ball hawking. they will get in there and we talk about tackling the ball, getting your guy in your grasp and try to take the ball away from them and both of those guys have that ability. I thought Jaden was good. He missed Friday’s workout not feeling well and then he came back, and I thought he really impacted the game. Both of them made one really big mistake they have to get out of, when they turn the ball over they went up to try to get it back and let the ball get behind them and both times we gave up baskets there, but I thought defensively they can do that and that’s where we think they can help us, but between them they had seven turnovers, that’s the biggest thing we try to talk to them about in practice because they are both too good of offensive players to continue to turn the ball over the way they do. Defensively I thought Jaden was good, Keon had his moments too but then he had some pretty bad moments where he turned it over then he panicked and threw it away again, but those guys will be fine because they are competitive and those
guys have been affected by the shutdown more than anybody, they were getting into a good groove, then they missed two weeks, so they were effected more than anybody.”
