Regarding New Role:
Asked about Daryl Morey’s comments: for the Rockets to make a deep run he (Capela) needs to step up and play at a high level. Capela agreed.
Specifically Capela cited the areas he needed to improve:

- To be more Vocal
- Take up more space in the paint.
- Free Throws

Weaknesses he cited that he worked on were:
