from reddit. I guess Nico did a podcast while in New Orleans
The 300 character title limit forced me to trim it a bit, but Nico’s full answer is below:
On Klay:
“I honestly think that he’s probably a guy who’s harder on himself than we ever would be. I’m super thrilled about him being on our roster. I think it’s been amazing. I think it’s only going to get better when we’re healthy.
I think you’ve been able to get a glimpse into what it’s going to look like. He’s built to win. He’s won where he’s been at. He’s not scared of the moment. So imagine putting that in when you’re trying to win at the highest level.”
This is from an interview Nico did for the Mavs Step Back podcast when they were in New Orleans. I think it may still be limited to subscribers so I definitely want to respect that and not share the whole transcript in this post, but did want to add this other Q&A:
On Mavs injury woes and if he considered visiting a voodoo doctor while in New Orleans to potentially help out:
“Well, I wish you would have brought that idea up early, because I’ll try anything. Obviously, it’s been frustrating. We really do like our team. I’m an optimistic person, so I try to look at the silver lining. It’s better to be injured now and not be injured in the playoffs. So if you’re injured now, chances are you’re going to be healthy when it really matters. So that’s kind of what we’re hanging our hat on.
The other positives, a lot of young guys are getting playing time, which full healthy roster they’re not. So I just look at that in terms of once we are healthy, we’re going to be better.”
