Following the recent trades, how do you see your role shifting toward leadership alongside players like Josh Giddey? Matas Buzelis: I talked to Billy about it, how I need to be more vocal as a player and I need to speak to guys. You know, guys don't know sets, guys don't know the defense and I have to be more vocal every time I step on the court to try to help my team win. And you know, I feel like I have, I wouldn't say pressure, but I can't find the word right now, I have to talk to everybody more.
