The way he talks about this team though, I think he loves it. He’s talked about how it’s much more teaching than he’s had to do in the past with his veteran-led teams. With them it was all tactical coaching cause they already knew what to do, but with the young guys he’s getting to mold them into his vision of what they can be (i.e. he obviously sees Sochan as a Draymond Green-type hence him starting at PG last season just to get some reps as a primary playmaker).
Cleary the goal is build up like Boston has; get a bunch of guys all roughly the same age and let them hit their primes together with years of chemistry already.

He does. It’s a lot different from the Big 3 days. These young guys listen and eat it up. And there’s a new challenge that Pop never really had.
