He definitely has the ability to be a great coach in this league. He has a lot of tools that it takes. He's very poised. He's a smart guy. He understands defenses and how to take things away from offenses, so he'll probably have a lot of success in this league. |
He didn't produce for he amount of ice time he had. We need to change our identity a bit. After being sat for a game, he came back strong. But on our last road trip, I didn't think his play was up to par. I should have been giving someone else that opportunity. |
He feels it. I think it's a spot, not an entire area, which I think is somewhat good news. I don't think he's going to be available the next couple of nights. I don't think this is something that turns out to be a couple of weeks. We'll continue to evaluate it. |
He had two perfect pitches to bunt. That's the guy you want up there to get the bunt down. You get the bunt down, it makes them have to make decisions. And we had a guy coming up who's a contact hitter who can drive the ball to the outfield to drive the run in. |
He has an asthmatic problem. He can't (play extended minutes). He doesn't. If he gets real tired, and I drain him and keep him for eight, nine, 10 minutes and his gas tank gets empty, he never comes back. It's very tough, but there's nothing I can do. He knows. |
He has such a winning, positive attitude. He was one of our first recruits. I'll never forget him saying, 'I came here to win a championship, coach.' He didn't care that they were 1-10 before. His attitude is contagious, and it rubs off on the rest of the kids. |
He has to make other teams respect his presence on the floor even when he's not scoring. He has to make the other people around him better. If he will value his worth in all aspects, if he makes his presence felt every night, we have a chance to be a good team. |
He hasn't achieved what we thought he'd achieve, based on the way he played two years ago. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of explanations for why things haven't gone that well this year. But a lot of guys haven't played up to the level that we'd anticipated. |
He introduced things like different-color cars and annual model changes, and it's taken Ford 70 years to get back close to GM. I'm like Sloan. I see what the new world needs and wants, and I'm offering it. Dole's still making black cars. But he doesn't have to. |
He is a guy modern players can relate to and respect because he actually played at the major-league level. He will understand the ups and downs of a major-league player and know when the time is appropriate to jump on someone and when to give a pat on the back. |
He is nasty and the strength of his game is on offense. We can run the ball behind him at any time. In the next breath, he could pull away by using a combination of power and agility. When he gets there he will make contact and there is no weakness to his game. |
|
He looks funny to me. He's out there playing and that's all we care about. There're a lot of guys playing with a lot of things, and he's a guy who got it done all year. So I never question anything when I see that guy on the field because he's out there for us. |
|
He plays real low to the floor and (is) able to change directions all the time and keep you off balance. The thing that makes him so diverse is he's able to score, but at the same time, he's a pure point guard. He can find his teammates and make the right pass. |
