Mann discussed guarding the Slovenian during a recent episode of Podcast P with Paul George, presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment. “Sh*t, it ain’t easy. I’ll tell you that,” Mann said. “I think it is more mental than anything with me because he’s going to make the tough shots. He’s going to take the tough shots and you see them go in, you think you playing good defense, you see them go in. It’s just tough. “The pump fake he going to get you a couple times in the series. He got P [Paul George] a couple times. I don’t know why he got P, after I told him to stay down on the move but he still jump. But yea, I think mentally it’s just taxing, but a lot of film is helping me out and the coaches for sure.” -via TalkBasket / May 1, 2024
