As long as he stays out of foul trouble, he's been doing a very good job on the defensive end, just hanging around the basket and blocking shots. We usually try to match him up with somebody that's not going to hurt us from the perimeter and put him around the basket, almost like playing a one-man zone in there. |
I thought it was going to take us awhile to get going offensively, and really it did on both ends of the floor. We hadn't practiced since Wednesday. |
I was real proud of how our guys played, not only tonight, but all year. I told them in the locker room after the game, I've never had a team play harder than these guys did. |
When he catches the ball, you have about three-quarters of a second to get on him or it's going to be a 3. He's non-stop. As soon as he puts his foot on the floor, you have to guard him. He doesn't get tired, he's fundamentally solid, he comes off picks and reads picks so well. |
