I have not spoke since the Israel-Palestine conflict has been going on. And I just send my heart out to everybody involved, to Palestinians, Israelis. You got people dying, and daily. And so as I send my heart out to them, everybody's fighting over the politics of it. I don't get off into politics. I'm not a politician. If I'm totally honest, I don't know much about American politics, let alone anywhere-else-in-the-world politics, but I do know something about life and death because we deal with that on a daily basis. And to see innocent people losing their lives, family members got to live with and deal with. And so I send my heart, my prayers, my love out to them. I have a lot of Jewish friends, family. And one of my closest friends is actually Jewish. I talk to him every day. It's like every time something's going on, he hits me, he's like, ‘Yo, like this is crazy. And I'm in fear, you know? And so I feel that and I don't have much to say other than, I send my love and prayers … just want to see it end, people get back to living their lives the way they've lived their lives. But the killing of innocent people, terrorist attacks. We've dealt with that here in America. It's not good.” 2:34 Monte Poole: “Makes my question feel so trivial now.” Draymond: “Your question: my first row seat to the defense. I think at times our shell is great. I think at times our shell isn't there. I think at times when we have certain groups on the floor, they’re communicating, and then other groups aren't quite communicating. Obviously, that's something that I can help with on that side of things, with the communication and making sure everyone's comfortable. But that's something that we all have to collectively be better at. I think, obviously, we know the following: You turn the ball over, it's hard to defend a turnover. So those are the basics. We know we got to cut those things out. Turnovers and fouling jump shooters and all those things, like, that’s petty stuff that we should be better than that and we will be better than that. So I'm not too worried about those things. That's been a problem of ours. But I think with a little bit of focus, it goes for everybody. So I feel like if I, as someone who handles the ball a lot — CP don't turn the ball over much — it’s really Stephen who leads the charge and the turnovers. And so I feel like if we can focus in that area, then it's a trickle down effect. If you're defending at the top, you're defending at the bottom and so — not that we view anyone on our team as the bottom — but you get my point. And so I think that has to be a focus of ours, the guys who handles the ball a lot. Then we can clean the turnovers up and that'll help our defense out a lot but the number one thing for this group is going to be communication. It's a new group, still getting comfortable with each other, learning each other's strengths. And what helps with that will help speed that process up as communication. So I want to say this publicly because I want to put that pressure on him and I trust and know that he'll handle it. But we need Kevon Looney to talk more…” 5:18 on what’s unique about Chris Paul playing with Steph and those possibilities right now 6:52 on seeing him joking around with Anthony Vereen after practice and describing his coaching style: “AV is a very unique coach. He connect with players on a different level…” 8:52 Draymond jokes with CJ Holmes (Omega Psi Phi alum) in not supporting AV, fellow alum, during dance at Open Practice, then answers Chris Paul question 11:03 on working really hard out there and what the chances are for him to be on the court 13:32 on the crazy level of talent in this league, especially in the West 14:28 on if the seeding matters 15:14 on why it was important for him to speak on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict THE ABOVE HAS BEEN ABBREVIATED DUE TO DESCRIPTION/COMMENTS CHARACTER LIMITATION.
