The preseason matches are, as is often the case for the first matches of the regular season, very average. The teams are in training and the spectacle is rarely there. Will Hardy concedes it, after the victory against the Clippers, despite his team’s 20 lost balls.
“We knew there would be terrible moments in this meeting”explains the coach to Deseret News. “With sloppy actions and disorganization on both sides of the pitch at times. »
Will Hardy can nevertheless be delighted with the performance of Kris Dunn, who only played the second half. But in just 16 minutes, he scored 15 points at 7/7 shooting, with 5 assists and 2 interceptions.
“While he was sitting on the bench for a while, his entry gave us a boost,” delivers his trainer. “He has a lot of experience. He communicates well, he understands situations perfectly. He was remarkable. »
Good support for Keyonte George
Kris Dunn, whose contract is not guaranteed, showed himself in the best possible way. “I just did my job. Above all, I want to be a good teammate. I’m here to do what I’ve done since the start of my career. »
The former Chicago player also played alongside rookie Keyonte George, where his experience is valuable to bring the former Baylor player, author of 10 points at 2/9 shooting, into the deep end.
“He’s only 19, he just needs to calm down,” recalls Dunn. “There were a lot of emotions for him. It’s his first match, he faces Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. He wants to do things well. There is a long road ahead of him and I tried to tell him to take his time. When I’m around him, I want to make his life easier. »
