Late in the 2020-21 season, the Washington Wizards signed Caleb Homesley to a three-year, non-guaranteed contract after he spent training camp and the G League bubble with the organization. Back for more during the 2021 Summer League, Homesley may not make the Wizards opening night roster given they already have 15 players on the roster, but he will certainly get an opportunity with the Capital City Go-Go (along with the likes of Kyree Walker). Hoop District caught up with the Liberty product in Las Vegas to learn more about the 24-year old.<\/p>\n
On 2020 training camp with Wizards:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI think it was a great learning experience for me. Especially see how NBA works, how they play. I think it really helped me. I played in the G League bubble. I think it helped me understand the pace, where to be, the spacing, and especially the defensive end.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
On 13 points in first Summer League game first half:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe way they were playing. We knew they were going to be very aggressive. So there were certain spots on the court where my teammates did a really good job of setting me up. The guys setting the picks and rolling, our big guys did a really good job at hitting the body so it was freeing me up.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
On anyone besides Alex McLean you work closely with?<\/p>\n
\n\u201cTommy, I just wanted to thank him for giving me this opportunity and sticking with me knowing I was in the training camp 2020 and then continue to stick through me now. Just for those two guys [Alex McLean and Sheppard] and their improvement that they\u2019ve helped me with.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
On what he wants to show during Summer League:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cVersatility on the defensive end. I think I can guard multiple positions even with the point guard and so far going down. Using my length and defensive rebounding.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
On his NBA position:<\/p>\n
\n\u201c1 through 3. I feel comfortable playing on-ball and off-ball.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
On his biggest improvement since 2020 training camp:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cConsistent on my shot and then defensively. Being versatile, being able to guard multiple positions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
On the G League bubble experience:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cFor me it was good, it was a good learning experience. Being able to just focus in solely on basketball and not have the extra stuff that goes on off the court. You got to really lock in whether you got more film, more time studying the game, watching the game. For me it was a great learning experience for me and I think I learned a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
On advice to Summer League teammates:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cYou got to have a next play mentality in games like this, especially we are new playing with each other. There might be a mistake, but you\u2019ve got to reel it off and go on to the next play. And just be aggressive on both ends of the court, whether that\u2019s defensively with your communication or offensively with setting a screen, cutting hard. You don\u2019t just have to impact the game by scoring all the time or making the assist, you can do it in all the other little things.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
On future goals:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHonestly, I want to get through this first and see where this takes me. I\u2019m a day-by-day guy so I don\u2019t really look into the future. I just try to control what I can control on a day-by-day basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
