TRANSCRIPT/COMMENTS:
00:00 You mentioned just the focus on your defense and the running and just kind of showing you're willing to do whatever it takes to be in the league. But your offensive game has been pretty efficient. Three-point shooting, creating your own look, creating looks for teammates. How rewarding do you feel like it is that you got a chance to show that even in a context like tonight against a good team?
00:21 QUINCY OLIVARI: First, I just want to start by giving honor and glory to God because it's ultimately rewarding. And honestly, that's the biggest reason why I chose number 41 because the number 41 in the Bible means patience. And the biggest thing I always tell myself and when I pray is on 40 days and 40 nights, the storm was there. But on Day 41, everything seemed to make sense and it all became clear. So patience will always — patience and trust will always take you far. And so having a game like today on the last preseason game, especially in front of my favorite player to ever pick up a basketball, it was just an amazing feeling. Coach McMillan always tells me that it's okay to want to be a playmaker and learn to be whatever a team needs. But at the end of the day, my true gift is scoring and shooting. So always look to look for an efficient shot first before you look to just pass it up and try to be just a passer. First, point guard because I can score the ball ultimately and this today, which is honestly rewarding, especially doing it at an efficient level.
01:22 And then just what do you feel like are next steps for you?
01:27 Go home and talk with my agent, see what comes next. I just want a job in NBA. Like, it's the only thing I've wanted since I was like five years old. And my dad always said my biggest gift is my energy. And energy can never be created or destroyed, only transferred. So I bring energy to whatever team wants me and I lift every group up. And I just want to see. I honestly don't know what comes next either. You know, every day I just approach it like it could be my last. And Rui hit it on the head today, this is like the last chance for people like me because tomorrow's not promised and neither is next week. But what is guaranteed is I have an opportunity today to go out and make a lasting impression.
02:17 Quincy, I have a couple for you. First of all, when you reflect on your preseason effort for the Lakers, you helped them get their first win in Milwaukee with a big late effort tonight. You get the start and you lead the team in scoring. Just how do you kind of judge yourself based on your ability to take the opportunity you were given and do something with it?
02:41 My dad. My dad's preached the same thing since I picked up a basketball. Did I play hard and did I have fun? I definitely had fun. I think like yesterday when we played the Suns, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker knew my name and it was just like the biggest surprise. I'm 23 years old, but every time I put on an NBA jersey or come to an NBA practice, I'm that eight-year-old kid. That's just begging my dad to take me to an NBA game. And so coming out today, I didn't know I was starting until the game when we went through our scout before the game and I was just like, "Wow, you know, first career NBA start in the last game." I've had this great feeling all day. Why not capitalize?…
