00:00 Yeah, you know, Matt, Matt is actually doing well.
00:03 He worked out yesterday for about 45 minutes
00:09 prior to practice, and he looks good.
00:12 And, you know, he was able to practice that yesterday,
00:17 actually, until he had to leave and go take a final.
00:20 So, but he's doing better.
00:23 And then Henry, you know, twisted his ankle a little bit.
00:28 And, you know, he's a tough guy.
00:31 But, you know, right now, you just want to make sure
00:34 that they're 100 percent.
00:35 And so if we needed him to play, both of those guys,
00:39 they could play if it was a game today.
00:41 But just got to just make sure they're 100 percent healthy.
00:45 You know, the guys, the guy that I've seen
00:48 that stepped up the most, in my opinion, is Jalen.
00:51 Jalen Johnson has, you know, he's starting to come around,
00:54 you know, starting to come around.
00:55 He kind of, you know, started off a little slow
00:58 early in the preseason, so to speak.
01:02 But now you're starting to see his talent
01:04 kind of evolve a little bit.
01:06 Just making plays, extremely versatile,
01:11 really good athlete.
01:12 I mean, transitioning, him getting downhill
01:15 has been great for us.
01:16 And he's a great passer.
01:19 Now, he turns it over a little bit,
01:22 but he can make some plays with the pass that,
01:27 you know, that's, you know, I didn't know coming in.
01:29 You know, you see him, you don't think about him
01:32 being a playmaker, but I think that's his best skill set
01:36 is passing the ball right now.
