Jamahl Mosley has always had a long-term vision for his team.
When the team struggled to wring out wins, he was preaching to his team a future that most had never experienced and getting on the court to work with them to get there. He was telling them what they needed to do to win and asking them to trust him in the process for the results to come.
They could start to see those pieces come together in the 2023 season with the defensive hints they began showing in their mid-season run. Then that identity fully blossomed in 2024.
Moe Wagner was the loudest of the voices throughout the season to say what they were doing throughout the 2024 season was a product of the three years this team was mostly together to get to this point.
What Mosley had done was to give his players ownership over the process. He had created a partnership that had everyone so much more invested in where the team goes next.
