00:00Kevin Willard's comment about him after the game talking about Queen, look at it, if he

00:06was European and white, he'd be the first pick in the NBA draft.

00:10He gets a little penalized because he doesn't have the greatest athleticism.

00:14He has better ball handling skills than most guards.

00:17He's like a 15 year vet in the fact that he knows and understands the game.

00:23And obviously, here's the kid Queen appreciating what his coach said about him.

00:28I mean, I mean, I definitely appreciate that from coach, but I mean, like, I mean, I feel

00:35like I do got some some truth to it, because like, I really don't have like, I really don't

00:40see no Americans really play like how I play.

00:43And they're also my high school coach said that, but he didn't say on the line, he said

00:47the same exact thing, but he didn't say that, like, like on record, like, like, nobody really

00:53heard.

00:55He said in practice, but yeah, I do appreciate coach Willard for saying that.

00:59And then, I mean, like I said, it is some truth to it, but I still got to keep keep

01:04going and getting better.

01:07Keep working, keep grinding, obviously, he reminded me of Anthony Edwards, they're sitting

01:12there doing that interview.

01:16I know what though, when you have a coach who has your back like that, that was a beautiful

01:19thing to say to say about the kid, man, that's, that's good stuff.

01:22Yeah, we're all over Maryland last night.

01:24We talked about these teams got a USC going west to east and they got thumped.
