• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I'm Canus Parker. Welcome to Film Study presented by Salesforce,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and I am here with the one, the Only, Olivia Miles.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Thanks for sitting down and doing some film study with me.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. I'm super excited. I'm excited to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: get started. But before we do, I want to talk
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: about just you in general. There's a couple of things
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: that have happened since a couple of weeks we've.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Seen you play in college.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Can you just talk about the last couple of weeks
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and yeah, yeah, like how excited you are to be
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the point guard for tc.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Yes, I mean it's been crazy, you know, fastest week
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: of my entire life. You know, I had to decide
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: in forty eight hours, you know, my future and whether
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: I wanted to go to the draft or stay another year.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: But ultimately I was just listening to my body and
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: needed some extra time before I turned pro, and and
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: I decided that, you know, a best fit for me
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: would be TCU. So I'm really excited to go down
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: there with with coach Campbell and you know, get some stuff.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Well, congratulations, because I know how much of a student
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: of the game you are, and I'm excited to see
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: what he's gonna unlock because I've seen I've really enjoyed
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: watching him from the coaching standpoint of how he brings
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: out the best in his players and puts them in
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the best situation, which we're gonna see how you're gonna
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: do that. But sitting here now in New York, next year,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: you're going to be sitting here yep, and you're gonna
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: be going pro. So what is your focus like going
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: into this last year college? What do you hope to
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: improve on and get better? From a player standpoint on
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the court.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say definitely my leadership. My sophomore year,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I went down with an injury, sat my junior year,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: and then came back my senior year and they were like, okay,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: you're a captain. So it was a quick adjustment for me,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: and I didn't feel like I had enough time to
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: kind of build my leadership my leadership skills as well
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: as I wanted to. So I'm excited to build those
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: pro habits and those leadership habits for another year before
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: I get into the thick.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Of it, and individually, from a game standpoint, obviously we've
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: seen your catch and shoot, but you have the ball
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: in your hands a lot.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: So what do you think is your strength in what
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you bring to the table when you have the ball
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: in your hands, and whether it's in transition, whether it's
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: in half court set.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say definitely in transition. I'm able to
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: scan the floor very quickly, so I can find my
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: teammates and you know the way they're able to cut
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: and find their windows and find their space in the
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: half court. I feel like I excel at driving and kicking.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I love a paint touch, getting two feet in the
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: paint and reading you know, if I have my shot
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: or if I can kick it out to my teammate
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: for a three. So just penetrating and seeing, you know
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: what the game gives me, what the defense gives me.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: When you call your own number, because you do that
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and we'll see that today when you call your own number,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: What is your strength? Without giving away your scouting reports,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: call a D one basketball.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: What is your strength? What do you like to do?
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: What feels good on the court.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I would say I've really fallen in love with like
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: a brush or a goot screen. The Warriors actually run
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: it a lot where they put two guards in it,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: and it's just so hard to guard as a defender
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: because you know, you either have to switch or you
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: have to stay with but if your guard gets clipped
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: a little bit, then you have to kind of communicate quickly.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: So it's an easy, you know, quick fix at the
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: end of a shot clock that I could just calm
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: out number and have a shooter to my left if
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I need them.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I like that. Yeah, all right, Olivia the whip pass.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: You alluded to that just a second ago about how
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you love finding shooters off of screens because of the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: help side. So we're gonna do is we're gonna watch
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the whole play in totality and then we'll go back
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and and kind of talk about it. Okay, So right
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: here top of the key, you see this horns action.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Looks like it's supposed to be a bump and recover. Okay,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: So when you're coming off here right obviously you're right handed.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: It looks like they're trying to force you left, but
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: you're gonna come off. You have your shooter over in
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the corner. So can you talk me through what exactly
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you're thinking in this scenario?
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Is where are you trying to gain advantage?
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: So we call this hornset choice, and because you're able
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: to pick which side you want to come off. I
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: usually loved, obviously a whip pass. It is hard to
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: do on the strong side, so I love a weak
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: side whip pass, especially to a shooter that I trust
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: literally with my whole soul. And obviously, you know, a
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: defensive rotation, the low man has to come over, so
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: before she even has the opportunity to like recover, I
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: just hit him, hit Sony really quick. You know it's
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: hard for her to try. So what you're seeing.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: What you're seeing here is the post player mistake number
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: one of the post player. With a guard like you, you
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: have to be up to touch. I don't know their
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: defensive too much space with Miami, but this is too
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: much space for a passer like you. You have a
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: person and help side. It's outside the paint yep. It
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: looks kind of like the guard gets kind of nailed
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: pretty hard. You come off shoulders shoulder, which is something
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I love because you don't give the defense any space
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: to sneak through. There is nothing she can't get through
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: that without the post player being up. So it looks
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: like it's almost like a three player switch.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Yes, right guard stays high. If anything, the girl in
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: the green shoes would stay low if Leah two number
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: twenty were to roll, Yeah, exactly.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: So what are you looking at when you come off?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: That's going to determine because it looks like right here
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you have determined already that you're gonna whip past.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So a little bit of it is pre determined.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Like I'm not gonna sit here and lie, but I
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: do see number four out of position and just not
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: really in a stance ready to guard. So I knew
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: that if I could get it over there quickly enough.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know how far she's gonna come over to
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: try and help, but if I can get it there, like, look,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: she's not even looking right now, so if I can
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: get it there quickly enough, she won't have time to reach.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I think that's kind of what happened and what I love.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: And this is only great passers know this. You hit
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: somebody in their chest, higher percentage in their shooting pocket.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Look at that on the laces. She doesn't have to
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: move her hands. She's already lacing it up right here.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: There's no extra motion. And that's the thing when you're
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: coming off. Yes, there's throwing a whip pass, but there's
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: also throwing a whip pass on target, and you're able
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: to do this coming off on this on this play
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: right here, which is excellent. So okay, the only thing
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: is I'll say you went to the baseline.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Well, let that go.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: All right? So the next play right here, you're not
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: just a force on the offensive end. You could be
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a force on the defensive end.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Everyone wants to talk about my defense. Oka, say it
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: for the people in the back. Okay, So we're going
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: to look at that right here. You're getting through the
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: screen and a drop coverage. Yep. She puts it right
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: in front of me.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Which is unbelievable right here.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: So I want to talk about this yep, because there's
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of guards that die on place. Okay, I'm
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: assuming she's an okay shooter, because you're going over.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: The incredible shooter of forty six. Okay, Yeah, I'm.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Assuming she's a really good shooter because you're going over, yes,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: so far off the court right here? Yes, Okay, So
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: you're going over, you're in a drop coverage, and you're
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: behind her at this point. Yeah. I had to fight
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: with very limited nail help because Hayley Vanlyth is up test,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: which I understand. Here you're able to beat her with
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: your feet, square up hands.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: She brought it down, you took advantage of it.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Fifty to fifty foul call there.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I got luck out of here.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I got to take it.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: We take it, yep, okay, And then.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: In transition you fix the goggles twice, actually.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Fix the disrespect I want to see.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: So we gonna go back to this part right here,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: which is what I love to me.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: This is one of those drills.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: That you do every single practice from the time you're
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: in fourth grade.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Not fix your goggles.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: So the whole point of transition is to get the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: ball from one side of the floor to the middle
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: or to the other side, because there are no there's
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: no strong side, there's no weak side. You are one
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: of the best in the country at doing this. And
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: if you looked at me in my career, that's all
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I did was take slice. I always slice it, slice
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: it because it makes it so hard to guard. Right,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: It's like, this is a this is a cone drill.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Right here. You are literally doing what we've done in
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: college forever. You're slicing the floor. You already know who
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: you're going to pass to is these is one of
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: these two where it's Hannah Hidalgo with the delayed three yep,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and by slicing this there's miscommunication. There's all those things,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and you're able to find for the layup. So can
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: you walk me through how this came about? Because you
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: do this so naturally?
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, so I was pushing the brake. I
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: obviously know where everyone's running habits should be, so I
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: trusted that Maddie would be there. But ultimately the defense
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: has to sprint and turn their back. So Haley Vanlyd,
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: as you saw, she kind of lost Maddie because she's
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: sprinting to Hannah. You just give her a little look
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: like eyes are everything. I don't think people really understand
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: for the people in the back. That's why I fixed
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: my goggles. I had to be able to use my eyes.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: You fix your goggles twice.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: But no, I think you just give a little head
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: fake or a little eye fake. It forces people to
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: to to make movements, manipulate them how you want. You see,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Haley doesn't even really know what's going on here, so
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: I was able to find Mattie. She's a big target.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Just put all the money for and got Its easy.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: To But yeah, your eyes created this play in so
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: many different ways. Honestly, you're spacing could have been better,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: but the team spacing could have been better. Because right here,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I think she should slow up a little bit and
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: let you go in front.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: But okay, and she should be going that way, But.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Your eyes sell this play because there's four back, one trailing.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Haley should just hold low.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, But because you have a shooter that's coming up,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: you have a shooter that's spaced on this side.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: You take advantage of that. I think another.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Great thing that you do, and I don't even know
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: you probably do it purposeful just because you're high, IQ.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: But anytime you drill at a post player the opposing post,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: it makes things very difficult.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, so for you going at Sedona here, it makes
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: it really.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Difficult because you already have a post that's out a
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: position down here, so you basically.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Take up too exactly exactly. I was kind of nervous
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: like that she was gonna get her hand on this.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: She was close. But I always love to engage a
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: big and then drop it off. We work on that
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: a lot. Yeah, as a big, I don't like being engaged.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: I don't like the experience, be honest.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's a good one.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a really good one.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: That's the next play, All right, pass to the pain.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Let's see.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: So this one we're gonna watch in totality. This one
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: isn't great, but I want to but I feel like
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: in film you can learn from the good the bad.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Absolutely right, So here.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: You come off not great spacing, not great spac Hannah
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: should be either out out of the picture, but right
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: here you're making the pass in traffic. You're such a
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: great point guard that they had to.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Put two on the ball with you and this didn't happen.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: This is why we picked from this game because there
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: weren't many of these in this game because you you
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: all were flawless in this early one against USC. But
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: here Hannah needs to be over here, which she needs
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: to be farther up.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: The lane needs to be in the corner.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Yes, And we worked on that immediately after this game,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: like our spacing and our habits, because like our team
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: had such great guards and we were like, we can't move,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: we need space. So yeah, I definitely see what you're
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: saying here, But.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: It's your job on display to put them there.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, just push them, push it to the wing, push
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: two to the.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Corner, yep, and like hold the ball, push push you there.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: And I think that's a thing at the next level
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: that if you show.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: That you can do that, organize.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I see a lot of and I've said
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: this before, I see a lot of Chelsea Gray and you.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: And Chelsea was very hesitan, and she was my rookie.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: She was very hesitant early on to be vocal and
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: do those things. But that patience allows you to be great.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: And you're seeing now where she manipulates stuff by putting
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: people in the position to succeed because you know, you know,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: you guys are four or five six plays ahead of Yes,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: what you're gonna do? So coming off right here because
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: of the spacing, there's not much operation that.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: You can do.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Right early in the shock clock too. It's early in
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the shot clock. But there's a hedge. It's a late hedge,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: late herd almost like a trap a little bit.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but no, you're not gonna get that in the lead.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, chill out.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: You could have would, but we're won't make the safe play. Yes,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: So it's either the handoff or wait, for it to develop.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you hit the corner. So the thing that.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I think at the next level, you're going to be ridiculous.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: And this is what in the WNB. I wish that
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: they kept They just started doing an NBA, but I
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: wish they kept hockey ass this because those are crazy.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: So you hit that first, you either hit you wait
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: for it to develop and hit. Hannah hit the corner
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: and then they hit the post.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I can honestly hit Leah tu here too, and she
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: has a perfect Hilo opportunity.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm. So I just think that sometimes playing in
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: a crowd, especially when you're playing in a crowd with
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: bigger players that are more athletic, you're not gonna be
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: able to hit.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: For sure. I know that was not a great read
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: by me, but or just put it on the floor.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, Yeah, you put it on the floor.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: But listen, you've made a million of these plays, so
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: why why wouldn't you be able to make this?
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: So I understand it.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Oh we scored, okay, good, you.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: All right right here, I'm gonna watch it.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so we're gonna go back on this because
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I want you to be great, and I think you
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: have the ability to be absolutely great, hold me accountable
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: in this league.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: And I speak yes in college.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: But similar and I'll say this, I look at this
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: as an opportunity for you, similar to Steph decided to
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: go back to school to play on Baltmore because he
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: knew he was going to be a point guard in
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the league. Right. I think you going back to school
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: gives your body a chance to get another year away
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: from your injury, which we all know it takes about
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: eighteen months to feel like yourself after you have a
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: knee injury. But also you have to have the intention
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: when you're going back. Yeah, and you've said and I've
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: had that in my career as well. People have questioned
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: my defense and things like that, but really it's just
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the little things.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: It's little tweaks, yes, exactly.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: And there's little things you can get away with in
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: college that you can't absolutely And so I challenge you
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: because of your size and your ability, you got to
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: close gaps better.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: So right here, Chelsea.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Gray, Kaylin Clark, pull in pulland or even if they
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: don't pull, you would do this to you.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: You would love.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: This type of this type And I'm not saying you
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: got to get up and pressure and slap the floor
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: and all that. But in this guard to guard, I
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: don't know your schemes, but I would assume it's a switch.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's point to switch. I don't know switch, but
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I would assume.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: This is a switch. So you still got to be
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: closer on this.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: So up to touch up here allows you to be
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: up to touch on this possession, which makes things easier
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: for you.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: So you're not going behind a screen.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: On a shooter because she basically knows that she wants
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: to go to her left, so she's she's trying to
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: take you where she doesn't want to go to tea.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: So you see this little fake right here. It gets
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: you to kind of stick on the screen.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: A little bit for sure. Yeah, our scheme was actually
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: to go under her, but yeah, because she she's like
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: to get into her shot off the dribble. It's like,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: but it's tough when Sedna is like as big as
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: she is because I get clipped here, so I'm already
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: a step slow.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I just feel like, biggest gap if you're up here,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the biggest gap would be to go.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Through, do you know what I mean?
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: For sure? So right like, I, yeah, I trap myself
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: in that way. Yeah, I know what you mean.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: So and I don't think I should say a shooter
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: out here, yeah she is.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we were staying home on everyone.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so that's the only thing is is like
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: closing your gap, which I think is a easy quick fix.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: In the league. Is that like essential? Is that what
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: you guys focus on?
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: So people are so good, you have to give yourself
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: an advantage somehow, And by that I mean you might
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: be late, but you have help built in versus, if
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: you shoot the gap and you're not supposed to, you
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: don't have the help, so you're gonna get cooked. And
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: so my point that I'm trying to make is sometimes
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: giving up space is the worst thing.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: When there's a screen coming.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: What are you taught to get into the ball for
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: to get over the screen? The offensive player wants you
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: to get off the ball because they want space to
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: be able to dance with it, do all the things that.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: You do with it.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: So defensively, I think that's my main thing that was
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: an adjustment is if you're supposed to be top side,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: if you're not top side, if you're kind of like
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: not three quarters or more sixty six around. They're gonna
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: bury you because your help is not.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Built for that, you know, So it's good. I like it.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, so right here, you call your own number, which
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I absolutely love and hope you do more.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Me too.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: You are a big guard.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: And look at this. She not eating up the space, dummy,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not eating up the space you like you like
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: you have reads vision yeah, momentum yeah, change of speed, yes,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: that's just like you're picking you're poison. Yeah, how did
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: you get this? Because this is pretty ridiculous.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: I think I get to sidestep to my right hand.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: It's already right here for me to shoot, if that
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: makes sense. Like I feel like with the left, I
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: kind of have to go here and then bring it
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: back to the center easy. So the ball is already
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: here and I just have to throw it up off
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: the side steps. So it just feels more natural to
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: me in that state.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: But you have to completely square up, whereas with your
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: left you're already squared.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know someone with the ball because I usually
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: shoot it quick. I usually have a quicker release on
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: this shot. On your right, No, on like a side step, yeah,
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: going right, going right, yeah, exactly. So I don't really
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: take the time to square that makes sense.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is you, yeah, I see what
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: you're saying.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: What I mean, but.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Usually right handed shooters shoot better going left.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: Yes, Like I love a pull up to my left.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Because you're yes, yeah, you're coming off right left.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Yep, exactly.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: But right here you're setting her up. You know exactly
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: what you're about to do right here. You just walk
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: into your spot. That's another thing. This next year in college,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: the best advice I ever received was figuring out how to.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Get to your spots.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: So you look, there's all these analytics. Now you look
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: at points of the on the court that are you know,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: you shoot seventy five percent from or you shoot whatever,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: and then from those zones, figuring out how to bump fade,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: how to step through, how to sign step, how to
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: lull people to sleep, so you can get to those
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: spots that you're so great at. And that's exactly what
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: you did.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: Here.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Where are your spots?
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: My spots were.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: This left elbow, yeah, this mid post right here?
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Okay, why just efficient there?
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: So overseas, if you don't cross over, it's a travel
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: so you always have to cross over when you first dribble,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: So I just got so used to going left, so
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I left and my right shoulder can't rip and open up.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So my right shoulder was my go to, so
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I would do everything to get back to that right shoulder.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: But I had my counter to my right shoulder was
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: my left hook.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: So I had a nice left hook right over my
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: but it was still my right shoulder.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: But this spot for you, I think is huge.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: I also think developing that little floater you're counter to.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: This is the.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Side step come back left, Okay, do you know what
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I mean?
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: You set them up with the side.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: You're walking them down right here, right, you're walking them down,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: walking them down. They know this is your spot. You
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: don't put it. You don't put it up. It's right here.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: And then crossover with your right shoulder going to the middle.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I feel like when you go baseline right, you're penning yourself.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Especially with somebody in the corner.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Especially transition right here, get to the middle, gat to
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: the middle right there. Yeah for sure, yep.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: So I think that that's an area, but a move
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: and a counter move for all your spots. That's essential. Yeah,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: that's essential, and your goal this season.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Is like.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: You want them on the scouting report to say she
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: likes to get to this spot, but yeah, gotta be
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: careful of this. Yes, that's what you want on your
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: scout got you?
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: This is my favorite right.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: I didn't know this was going to be a film study. Oh,
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: this is a film study because we're studying every part
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: of the game right here. Okay, I don't know hair out,
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: we got goggles, we got the tongue out.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: We just hit a pull up three?
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: What what?
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: What?
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean I think we were that put us
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: up nine at this point. So I was like feeling it.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, like I just had a shot.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: I was feeling good.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Now it's time for a custom segment presented by Agent
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Force from Salesforce. It's what AI was meant to be.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I want you to drop your favorite play, my favorite play,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: your favorite play, So a play either you have in
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: your playbook or a play that I would like to
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: have in your playbook that would get you or your
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: team a bucket. And then as a post player, of course,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I got to figure out how I'm well defend it.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: So it's an NBA style play. So we have the
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: one with the ball, the three, four, five and the two.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: So the first part of the of the play is
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: a ghost screen by the four and the one dribbles over,
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: so four is now over here race.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Okay, so the one the one then whips whips the
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: pass over to the four and space is out, so
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: the one gets a lot of space over here. The
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: four has the ball, dhose to the two. The two
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: comes up swings the ball to the one at the
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: same time. The timing, yes, timing is so so important
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: in this play because it will get the point guard open.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Oh sorry, the five moves to the other side, and then
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: once the one has the ball, she should be like
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: right here, set the upscreen attack or if the point
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: cards denied, the four can I mean, the two can
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: go right to the five right here past the one
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: can come.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Then it comes off a handoff.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah exactly.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that's really hard to guard because.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: First of all, you can't really deny because the ball's
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: weak side. Obviously when you scout it you try, but
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: then you're still late for the screen.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Yes, so it ends the play. Got to make sure
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: you have a shooter in the four so their help
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: doesn't sag off. And then the two's up here, so
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: it's always an option to whip a pass right back,
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: so that yeah, it's a great play. We usually run
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: at the end of like shot clocks or end of quarters,
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: halftime whatever. We usually score on it, so it's it's
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: pretty good.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: So what do you do if they trap.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Trap the ball screen? We usually have the three as
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: an option to to an outlet, Yeah, exactly, it's outlet
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: or usually I'll read the trap before and then back
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: dribble and then just.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Get it out exactly the ball.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that is my.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Fact to run that play as the five and got.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I think also giving you more space is clearing out
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: the three.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, do you know what I mean? We actually have
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: a play like that. We just empty out the side. Yeah,
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: and if you don't mine on dried up and you
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: have the fast screen, yes, fast screen exactly. And with
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: bigger guards.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I know I used to run this a lot with
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Chelsea because when you're coming off the upscreen, you're going baseline.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Because you're a bigger guard, you can see weeks sides,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: whereas as a.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Little guard you kind of get hot in the corner.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So on this play we set the upscreen here right,
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: mm hmm. And then if we don't have it, we'll
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: swing to the four back cut she goes, and then
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: it's just continuous d H O. Swing to the other side.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: So that's this instance you were talking about where the
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: three clears out and yeah, the spacing and time, like
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: these players want to work without spacing and timing.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: So spacing time and yeah, that's amazing. And also if
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: you want to kind of keep it from being clustered
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: over here, instead of having the force at the ghost screen,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: you have the three set it and then you set
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: that hammer action.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you know what I mean.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: So you have a.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Screen for you and then you occupy week side.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah that hammer yeah, with that hamm reaction.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But honestly, with a passing, scoring, dynamic guard like you,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I'm sure a coach, sure a coach is Coach Hampbell
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: is going to be very excited next year.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: I just need space and a high ball screen. That's it.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, So we got a message for you. I've talked
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: about Chelsea a lot.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Yes, what's up, Olivia.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: I hope you're doing well as you tackle your next journey.
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: You know, we have similar styles of play. Even tells
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: you that just the way you dictate action and pass
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: the ball in the open court. Each year you've gotten
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: better and added to parts of your game. So this
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: next year, make sure you come back even better. Quiet
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: the noise, and just enjoy playing. You don't get these
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: college years back, so have fun, stay in the moment.
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: If you ever need anything, hit me. Excited to see
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: you play another year. Looking forward to stealing those transition
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: passes though, because I know they're coming. But anyways, have
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: a good time, enjoy, enjoy your last year in college,
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: and I look forward to seeing you soon.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's the goat. That's all I can say. That's
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: the point God right there.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Listen, take advantage of the resource because I think she
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: can help, you know, Yeah, I.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Want to pick her brain and see see if we
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: think similarly. I just loved watching her. I really started
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: to love her when she commentated for ACC that one year.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember that, but she was,
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: you know, talking about all my games and just the
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: way she she is. It's just like it's so fun
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: to be around her.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: So I look forward to watching you next year. I
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: look forward to seeing what you're going to develop and
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: what you were going to improve on.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: The summer.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I think the biggest advice that I would give you
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: is just have fun with it. Again what Chelsea said,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: you only have so many years. Yeah, and college go
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: so fast. Make your imprint, don't apologize for it. There's
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: very few people that have the ability to dictate a game,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: and you're one of them.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so just know that. Thank you, thank you.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I can't wait to get better and just have fun.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: Like you said.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: So, he's sitting here.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Next year, we're about to go to the League.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: I know, I'm excited. Thanks for having me, no problem.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Thanks for watching film study presented by Salesforce. I've had
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: an amazing time breaking down film and seeing what makes
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Olivia Miles so special.
