Jazz Pod with Key, Ace and Lauri

[HermanG]

The Old Man and The Three managed to get Key, Lauri and Ace all to join his pod for a 50 minute discussion. I dont know if it has been posted somewhere but since its apparently Aces first pod its worth its own thread (Key and Lauri talk more than he does there tho).

Few interesting pickups (hidden in spoiler in case you wanna listen to it first):

Spoiler

• Key mentions one of the biggest contributors to his leap being "Dr. Craig" who is apparently a psychologist. And he highlights that its "just being able to talk to someone who doesnt know about you" that has taken a lot of pressure off of him
• Ace details one "welcome to the league" -moment for him which was when Hardy pulled him against Suns (he was guarding Booker) and said "if you dont play defense, you dont play at all"
• Georges Niang is a big locker room influencer based on their reaction when they discuss who the "vibe setters" are
• Ace said NBA guys have a "different kind of bump" compared to college (referring to size/weight/power) which has surprised him. When asked if that will lead to him bulking up next offseason he instantly and repeatedly said "for sure"
• Lauri said both Ace and Key go hard on workouts every drill, and that he doesnt believe you can be casual in practices and then flip some switch to suddenly go hard in games --> I BADLY wanna take this as a Cody dig even though Lauri would never do such a thing

Not sure about that "if you don't play defense you don't play at all" comment
Nobody seems to play defense

I’m glad he’s identified this as something that needs addressing. He reminds me of AK47 whenever he drives into traffic he gets tossed around everytime losing the ball just like AK used to.

Im moving houses and at work Ive been crazy busy for months. The life improvement side may happen as a result of both but its currently on hold.

Luckily the season is progressing along familiar lines so you really haven't missed much. We're almost at the point where THT takes over starting PG duties and everything goes to hell.
