You get drafted and then you got like a ton of stuff to do like as soon as you get drafted Then you go to summer league like it was like a whirlwind summer for you Once you got back here to San Antonio like what was kind of the focus as far as like What you wanted your development to be? You know, I think you forgot something actually even before I got drafted six days before I think I was still playing in the championship Yes, I skipped that part. But yeah, you're right. Like I had a whole lot to do. That's right But ever since I came back it's The focus has really been on Yeah, basketball body It's we've been working harder and smarter than ever Reliefs I've discovered.
