Marc Gasol Exclusive
What’s up, Jazz fans?! Karina Alexandre here!
As we continue our carrousel of exclusives of the Jazz
roster, today we are reaching out to Marc Gasol and we’re going to learn a
little bit about his expectations for the upcoming season.
KA: First, thank
you for taking the time to talk to us today, Marc. We really appreciate it.
I’ll start things off with a simple question. How is the team’s atmosphere for
this offseason?
MG: Hello, Jazz
fans, it’s been a while and it’s good that we’re back. As for the team, the
atmosphere has been great, really. Training camp has started at full-throttle
and we’re focusing on meshing and getting to know each other so we can really
thrive once the season begins.
KA: What has been
the focus from the coaching staff at camp?
MG: They have
really been emphasizing on ball movement and distributing. We’re mostly
veterans so we know what the physical preparation needs to be, but in order to
run the system and scheme we need to be successful is another thing entirely.
We have a lot of talent this year and I’m just happy to be a part of a team
that’s going to make some noise this year.
KA: This Jazz
team has become accustomed to be fighting for the playoffs the past 3 seasons
and unfortunately went down to the wire and missed out on it on the last game
of the season. Do you think we’re all in for the same kind of performance this
year?
MG: Well, it’s
really tough to make this kind of prediction even before the games have started,
right? Having been here during our late season stretch, I can tell you that
last year’s team had a lot more potential and could’ve at least tried to make
something happen in the playoffs, but injuries got in the way. Still, we should’ve taken care of our
business, as it were dependent on us, but we didn’t make it happen, and that
sucks! Hopefully we can do much better this year and we’re certainly poised to
do that.
KA: Marc, thank
you so much and we will see you soon alright?
MG: For sure,
take care!
