For Jaylen Nowell, he is the ” video room leader “. During these game analysis sessions in pictures, Taurean Prince is the one who opens it. ” He appeals to everyone. From the first player to the fifteenth. He appeals to everyone, that’s how you get everyone’s respect », continues Taurean Prince’s bench mate.
“ It tells you what you did right or wrong, or gives an example of what should be done. He’s a great teammate, a great veteran. There’s no one else like him », adds Naz Reid.
We better understand the importance of the former Hawks or Nets player, who shines with his efficiency this season (8 points on average at 55% on shots including 48% from afar), in the locker room. His coach evokes in him a ” soothing influence for the group.
” He’s really good in the video room, he picks up the little things, he helps the guys. He has a pleasant and calm demeanor. He’s been in our system for a while and he’s comfortable. You can see from his way of playing, he is really comfortable in what we do so he can bring some expertise “, develops the coach.
Lucid about himself
The “role player” himself has the feeling of being a leader ” for a while. I am also very lucid, with myself. I know when to be assertive and when to talk less somehow. I believe everyone is a leader in their own way if given the opportunity. »
This “leadership” is not too much at the moment for a struggling Wolves team with three straight defeats and a negative balance (four wins – five losses). The ‘3&D’, which boasts one of Wolves’ best Defensive Ratings, is emerging as the vocal and moral leader among the team’s substitutes.
” TP is our guy. Especially for the second five, he is someone who leads by example. He does everything right, even off the pitch. He is also a singular basketball player Naz Reid says again.
