Zaccharie Risacher, talking about the team's mindset:
"We don't want teams to want to play us."
"We want to be a difficult team to face, and that comes with a lot of responsibility and a lot of physicality."

Wallace also quipped:
"I want to thank especially my teammates just for trusting me when I'm on the court now. All that (mimicking his teammates) 'Hey, hey! Give me the ball. Let me see the ball.' I ain't got to do all of that no more, you know? They just trust me to be the QB on the floor."

“What (Zaccharie) is getting better at is making really quick reads … The variety in his game offensively is growing, where it’s not just him making a jump shot or running in transition – those are two really important things for us … You’re seeing more variety in the things he can do.”

Kristaps, on playing with Jalen Johnson:
“His physicality, it creates a lot of problems for the other team. A lot of times (with) him just downhill and getting to the rim, even if he doesn’t score, it brings so many people in that I can follow for the rebound.”
