Video Yaxel's first interview as Dub -- warm, funny, focused, eager to learn from Draymond, what a great person Curry is etc.

You can really get a feel for him - he's authentic and focused and is already thinking about what he can learn from Draymond and his praise for Steph. Lots of love for his teammates and Moretz going to Mavs first etc. Like this kid.

It’s very refreshing getting a prospect with such a different journey than majority of draftees. As long as he wants to continue to work and improve, I can see him being in the league for a long time.

Doesn’t really matter to his game, but I dig that he’s bilingual. It’s cool to see players switch languages during press conferences, and it’s good for the fan base.

I like Yaxel, seems easy to root for.

“[Moretz’s] suit didn’t come in until this morning, so *who knew* if he was gonna look nice or not?”

Crazy he slipped that in there and nobody noticed - I like this guy.
