GUI SANTOS EXIT INTERVIEW: “Offensively, obviously, I keep on getting better in everything. Shooting, driving, being more explosive. But I think the main thing is defensively, gotta be like, I can be better. I can work in the summer, especially on my body, on my quickness, to be able to be in front of all the players. So yeah, I think the biggest thing is defensively.” 0:35 Pat (Spencer) said the same thing about working on lateral quickness. So is that something you're going to be trying to work on? “Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to work on that.” 0:44 What do you think is the biggest takeaway from you that you learned from some of these veterans? “Man, the mentality of winning they have. Like, they always want to win. If they lose one game or if they - I remember that was in a month of February, if I'm not wrong, I think we won 13 games and we lose one - but we can see how they care about that one that we lose, so they have this mentality and I see how and why they are four times champion, because they really have this mentality. They don't care about against who they're going to play this. They just want to win. So I think that's the biggest thing.” 1:28 Your G League experience, hopping up and down and going back and forth. How much did it help to have the same coaching philosophy when you're going up and went down, all the plays are the same? How helpful was that? “That's really good here because Santa Cruz play in this exactly same way that Golden State play. Obviously, we don't have Steph in there, but we still have the same mentality and same philosophy on how to play. So I think that's really good, especially for young guys like me. There's learning there. There's playing, having opportunity to play. And I think it's very good. They have the same mentality because when you go down there and you have opportunity to play here, lost, you know exactly what you've got to do.” 2:21 Speak to the level of play down there, it’s getting a lot, lot better. Speaking to the level of play in the G League and how much better it's getting. “Playing in the G League, some guys, they don't like it. But I think it's really important, especially, like I told you, if you're not playing a lot of minutes here in the NBA, you gotta be playing somewhere. Because for me, the only way for you to get better is playing. You gotta play, you gotta have guys guarding you, you gotta have guys playing hard against you, and the only way that you get it is playing. So, for me, playing the G League helps a lot to get better, man; it helps a lot.” 3:00 Are you staying here or are you going to go home this summer? So yeah, I'm going to go home for a little bit, see my family and stay there for a little bit. But I'm going to be back this summer to work on all that stuff that I was talking to them to get better soon.” 3:16 How do you kind of view your season here? DARIO SARIC EXIT INTERVIEW: “I mean, for me, obviously, it was a really good season, beginning of the year. Beginning of the season, got some time to be on the court, be able to help the team, to get some wins, to be able to stay on the court and produce some good, good things. And from there and kind of like, I don't know, I guess after All-Star break, kind of like season didn't go perfect for me. I couldn't find my time on the court, I wasn't really part of the rotation. That's how things play out for me. I don't know, it's still kind of everything fresh to me to really make kind of like, we progress with thinking about like how the season well, but beginning of the season, I didn't expect things to go on this way for me, but that's kind of like basketball, sometimes doors open for you, sometimes door closed for you and that’s how it is. I can't be mad or whatever, but that's the situation, it's not gonna change the fact.” 4:55 What do you want this summer? Like what's your priority as you look towards your next step? “I don't know. Early question for me. I know I have national team this summer, try to stay ready and get ready for that, have a pre-qualifiers for Olympics, try to stay healthy and ready for that. And go from there, get some time now and think what's next for me. For next season too, in the club level.” 5:33 Dario, Coach Kerr was telling me a few weeks ago that he thought that when you guys lost Deki, it affected everybody. He said especially you and Loon. What did it mean? I mean, how hard has it been since Deki’s been gone for you? “I mean, obviously, it's been hard for all of us. To have that situation happen in the middle of the season when nobody didn't expect surprises, especially big guys who are connected with him, who are working out with him every day. And he was that guy who really was honest with us and give us perspective, what’s going to go in the next game, what’s going to go in next practice, what’s the plan. And what's the team's view on the situations on the court and minutes, time, rotation-wise. And I think we didn't really have that info after that, and it's been really tough for us to handle all those things. It was tough for everybody, but Loon and I are big professionals, and I think you put that on the side and try to focus on our game and our things, how we impacted the team. And it's tough and it was tough, but I think we are professionals. We are 30 years old people, so we can kind of go from there and handle that too. So it's been tough for all of us at the end of the day.” 7:31 Do you consider playing for the national team this summer kind of like an opportunity to keep the NBA door open for you? “No, no, I don't really. My focus is just on national team to have better situation, to help the Croatian basketball if we can, if we can go in the next round. And then I never really put in the same pot, my club career and my National team career is two separate things for me. And I'm always, if I'm healthy, going to play for national teams until they need me, until somebody younger and better comes. So, I don't see that kind of like fighting me for the NBA contract.” 8:26 You think there's any chance you’ll come back here or just considering playing time and all that, it would probably be elsewhere next year? “Tough question, tough question. What I say, I had a great experience beginning of the season. Things go kind of like south a little bit for me, but that's professional sport, people sometimes see, have a different views, but you try to be professional, bring that kind of edge as much as you can every practice, everything you do for the team. So tough question right now, I think. Still kind of everything is still fresh for us, you know? But yeah, you're gonna see.” MORE TRANSCRIPTS ON OUR WEBSITE: www.letsgowarriors.com #Warriors #GuiSantos #DarioSaric
