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!
