I don’t even care much for regular season NBA but it’s so refreshing seeing someone as brutally honest as him in press conferences. Like he hasn’t really said anything wrong at all but you don’t see other players talk the way he has so far
Yaxel on if the game is already slowing down for him:
"I would say offensively, yes. I hope you guys noticed last game, I was pretty much just throwing my body into people trying to create while I'm in the air. Today was more so like having a little more patience and figuring out when to jump and when not to jump. On the defensive end, I still have to figure out my weakside help. I gave up a lot of buckets down low, just thinking like my teammates are going to get back and they're thinking I'm going to stay there, so it's just a little confusing and it's all on my part. So, I'm going to watch a lot more film and finally see if I can figure it out one day."
