JaVale McGee said Kevin Young has shown poise in his role as acting head coach.
Said he’s seen coaches ejected and the assistant’s hand is “shaking” drawing up the plays.
McGee said Young, who was a head coach in the G League, has known what he wants to do in situations. #Suns – 12:41 AM

The play is usually for the catcher to pass to a guard, but there wasn’t enough time for that.
So JaVale McGee caught Cameron Payne baseball inbound pass, shot and hit deep 2 at buzzer to end 3rd. pic.twitter.com/SRGWKnaSlG – 12:34 AM

JaVale McGee agreed with the sentiment that there’s no way to really prepare for this stretch of guys going in and out of protocols. Said that’s the case for the scouting report too with so many new names coming in.

JaVale McGee said it can be difficult to prepare for teams when you don’t have much of a scouting report on most of the guys out there.
“It’s like, we *think* he can shoot, but we just don’t know. It’s just 5-on-5 at that point” – 12:27 AM

Probably should’ve shot 3 on other end, but passed the ball and Hopson ended up getting called for a charge.
