Jo was somebody who believed in himself, believed in what he said, and he had all the talent and the skill. I remember watching him work out one time and I bounce pass it to him one time and he was like ‘Ish’—because remember, at the time, me and Nerlens (Noel) had a good connection. He’s like ‘Ish, I can catch lobs, too’ so I came off the pick-and-roll and threw it to him. He got so high and this was young Jo so he was light, he was working out every day, slim, and he went up and got it. I was like ‘Yo, this kid is unbelievable’.
So I went home during the summer and they would call me. Coach Brett Brown would call me and be like ‘Ish, this dude is — I’m telling you, he’s unbelievable. He’s unbelievable’ so you kinda knew it was gonna happen, it just takes some time and now he’s playing well. Now we got a beautiful matchup (Embiid and Nikola Jokic). We got two big men who with the game is now all 3-point shots, you got two legit big men so it will be fun to watch.”
