He was having a great game and it was a pretty ugly foul. I think he is OK. |
He was running at full speed. Anyone else that would have caught the ball would have ended up in the first row. |
He'd average 20 points a game if he was put in that role every night and I'll be damned if I'm not going to try to put him in that role - now. You forget a little bit about how good he can be if he gets good opportunities. |
He'd go a week and he'd be OK, and then he'd get hurt again. So I just hope he's healthy now and I can use him in that role. |
He's a great player, there's no doubt about that. |
He's a great player. He's one of the top five guys in the league. |
He's a remarkable player, and I'm glad to have him on my team. |
He's amazing. He gave us the defensive lift we really needed. |
He's as complete a big man as there is in the league. He's 6-11, he runs, can shoot the ball, he drives on isolations, posts up. He's really a fantastic player. |
He's been very aggressive posting up and around the hoop. He's taking those outlet passes and getting over people in traffic and becoming stronger inside. |
He's being measured, I think, too harshly. But I believe in him. He's a streak scorer with this team. He can get on a roll. |
He's got size. He's very strong. He shoots (43%) from the three. He can post up. He's very methodical. He plays the game until he needs to determine the difference between winning and losing. That's what he's developed into. |
He's got to be more diligent. He's got to find a way to get over and contest the ball without fouling. |
He's got to be out there on the floor, consistently. Every time he's not, it takes him out of his rhythm. He's got to be more diligent - and we've got to be more diligent - as to the kind of fouls he takes. |
He's got to do it. I was very disappointed... Those are the things that he has to dominate if he's going to be fronted and backed and we can't get him the ball all the time. He has to use his size and keep his head under the rim. |
