He understands what he needs to do in certain situations, and he's grasping on to the concepts that we're preaching. He's watching the film with me. He tells me what he sees on the floor. It's only two games, but you watch the film sessions and realize how much he's registered. It is possible to make the judgement that it is time for the other guys to get those moments.
Josh Primo was ruled out of Monday's game against Houston after entering the NBA's health and safety protocols. In two games in Vegas, he averaged 15 points and 4.5 assists.
