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."

Keaton Wallace:
"I want to credit coach Ash Smith for working with me on both sides. He has been my (player development) coach all of last year. We've been grinding for a long time – getting consistent reps, being in here after practice and at night."

“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.”

Vit Krejci, on shooting off the bench:
"You have got to stay as warm as possible, stay mobile, because I dip a lot on my shot, so I've got to be flexible ... working my ankles and my hips, so when I get to the game, I'm in that low position where I can get a good shot up."

Part of Quin Snyder's response on Jalen Johnson playing with a new roster:
"Jalen has really been focused defensively, too, just trying to be down (in a stance) and doing the little things that he has taken pride in -- and that shows his maturation as a player."
