What They’re Saying
“He's going to take his. He's fantastic. What a talent. One of the best talents that I've ever witnessed in this league at his age. He's tremendous. Everyone is excited about the opportunity to potentially have their turn against a guy who's projected, as we all know, to be very high potentially in the upcoming draft.” – Head Coach Mike White on Anthony Edwards
“We’ve had a lack of defense recently. Our offense has been good, I think we’ve found the answers to it. I think Coach White is trying to mainly focus on defense right now. We just need to get better on that.” – Forward Keyontae Johnson
“Every game, no matter if we’re up or down, we say the first four minutes is what, you know, kinda determines what we’re gonna do for the rest of the game.We come out with a lot of energy and focus, and it’ll go well for us.” – Guard Noah Locke
