00:08It's just a matter of just doing what we do, sticking to our basic principles, and being who they are.
00:13A lot of you guys today talked about the importance of defense, and some of you worked through today.
00:19Just to earn playing time for the Magic organization, just how critical is it to be fluent on that end of the court?
00:27It's very critical. That's what we stand for, that's what we do.
00:30That would always be the foundation of what we do, and we'll start there.
00:34These guys know how important defense is to our organization.
00:38Today I told them, defense is what wins championships.
00:41We want to keep building in that way, and we want to keep continuing to create those habits.
00:46That's our culture, so we'll definitely be there for that.
00:49The opportunity to serve at the Hiccups and the Seminoles, what does that mean to you?
00:53It's a great opportunity. I'm thankful for the opportunity.
00:56The organization has been great to me, and I've been here for some time now.
01:01To have the opportunity to lead and share and help these young guys is what it's all about for me, so I'm thankful.
