00:00As he surveys and finds Thompson free good

00:04The feel of reception from the city

00:07That's all I needed to feel to feel at home. It's just a great step in the right direction and the future looks really bright

00:20Nice defense Thompson all day to fire when watch you know, you know

00:27Let me get on down this is money in the bank so as you pass you just start running back

00:33But what are you thinking there? I'm thinking it's going in simple

00:46It's easy to play with guy like that makes my life and Kai's easier makes the whole team's life easier. It's a lot of space

00:56And now he has the record in his debut

01:10It feels good just to get the first one out the way and

01:14Setting a record is always a great feeling and something. I'll never take for granted when we get newcomers

01:20Our job is to hopefully get their feet settled

01:22And I think you can see his feet are settled and he's comfortable here and he's enjoying it

01:39Being a two-way player

01:43It's probably my greatest joy because

01:48the players I grew up idolizing

01:51Were some of the best at that whether it was Kobe

01:54By Drexler, we've asked him to come back and help rebound

01:57I thought he did an incredible job with that being able to tip him out if not come up with the defense

02:03There's so many ways to affect the game. Even when my shot isn't falling in I'm gonna lean on that this season
