I listened twice, the word in question seems to end in a ‘t’ sound to me. More like he slurred nuggets than tried to correct bad word choice.

He dribbled the ball near nipple high and got blocked by the rim on layups at an alarming rate.

I know a lot if people want to see his 3 ball improve and that would be awesome. But honestly he is a euro-step away from moving fom 8th man to 6/7 in my eyes.
