00:00Watching Dart play, you knew going into the game, he's kind of a maniac.

00:03He's gotten hurt in a few of the games he's already played in.

00:06That was a bigger topic of conversation around Drake May,

00:09I feel like, the first few weeks of the season.

00:11Now that talk has kind of gone away.

00:14Don't you think he does a pretty good job of knowing when to slide

00:17versus go out of bounds versus dive forward?

00:20I think he's got a pretty good grasp on that now.

00:23I'll tell you, it's amazing.

00:25And McDaniels, Ashton Grant, anybody involved, Alex Van Pelt,

00:32anybody involved in the development of Drake May since he got to the league

00:37deserves a tremendous amount of appreciation.

00:41I'm not going to say credit because you cannot take the credit from the player,

00:45I think.

00:46McDaniels does deserve credit.

00:48But the development is just, it's insane.

00:51At any position, I just don't understand.

00:54And at any position, it would be remarkable.

00:56But at a position that complicated, to go from a guy who was wild at times

01:03last year, who had to be stripped down in April and retaught how to drop back

01:08because he hadn't really done it, take a five-step drop,

01:10take a seven-step drop, throw with accuracy.

01:12You can look at our notes from mini camps last year and from training camp,

01:16May, struggling accuracy-wise.

01:18To go from that to now, it's bizarre.
