00:00 Some of it is physical. You know, I just think you can't discount, um, the additional strength and the impact that that's had on his overall like balance, uh, both on his drive.
00:11 You know, he's obviously getting to the paint way more like the and one he had or the file he got drawn tonight. Um, he's more balanced on his shots.
00:19 Um, and then, like I've mentioned before, the physical element of his durability, I mean, it's a long season when you're kind of that frame and he's significantly stronger and more put together and more able to handle the rigors of the season

01:26 He's a great developmental case study as some, a lot of the guys are, and he's just got to stay on it. You know, it's not going to be perfect, but this just shows that, you know, if you just stay to your process and you hit it every day, you'll improve over time.
01:39 If you fight through the ups and downs.
