Who have you studied on defense to help model your game after? Dyson Daniels: I watched a lot of Marcus Smart when he won Defensive Player of the Year. In my early stages, when I was in New Orleans, I watched Jaden McDaniels and how he uses his length. If you go way back, I looked at Michael Jordan, who was really good with his hands. I like to play defense my way, be in the gaps, and defend one-on-one. There are a lot of good defenders in the league nowadays. Some of the guys go a bit more unnoticed, like Lu Dort. He’s another player I watch as well. -via HoopsHype / March 28, 2025
What’s it been like being the leader on this team with young guys around you in Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels, and Zaccharie Risacher? Trae Young: It’s not new territory for me. People probably know that this isn’t the first time I’ve been a part of a team with young guys and where they wanted me to lead. I think this is really what they wanted me to do this year. Not focus on the wins and losses. It’s more about how I can bring the young guys along and build them up and build their confidence up as much as possible. -via HoopsHype / March 28, 2025
