Hey @kylegoon if you want a piece on the new guys, ask Thabo about saving the lady with his raft going down the Provo River.

“Who told you about the lady?” Sefolosha said, when asked about the incident after Friday‘s shootaround. “Wow, that’s random.”

“We didn’t know exactly what to expect,” he said. “It was a little more challenging than we thought.”

It was rougher for some than others: With about 15 minutes left on their trip, they saw a woman in the water who had lost her tube while floating downstream, struggling despite the fact she was wearing a life vest.
