00:00I like the way that he plays.
00:01I'm not going to sit here and change his thought process.
00:04He's going to be one of the best players to play this game.
00:07So for him to see as a rookie how they're playing him,
00:12to be able to go back and watch the tape,
00:14because he's going to see it again against Washington so he can get better.
00:20I think, again, his talent level, being able to run the show
00:24and play defense is at a very high level
00:26and with a double-double to come out as a rookie and as an 18-year-old is not bad.
00:32Yeah, I thought Cooper played within himself.
00:34He took what the defense gave him.
00:37He was making plays.
00:38He's diving on the floor.
00:40He's one that's not going to go out here and just shoot every time he touches it.
00:43He tries to play the game the right way, and I thought he did that in the first half,
00:47and I thought he was comfortable, came out there in the third
00:51and started to look to be aggressive, to take some shots that he knocked down.
00:55So I thought he played well.
00:59Now the stat line is not going to say that,
01:01but no one in this room is sitting in his shoes.
01:05And so I think he, again, as a rookie, did fine,
01:09and he's going to learn from this game.
01:10We all will, and we'll be better next time we take the floor.
