Jerry Sloan
He's been terrific. He's been a terrific worker in practice and a good person to his teammates, and I think those things are very important.
|
He's going to be a good player,
|
He's got his head on his shoulders pretty well.
|
He's in much better shape than a year ago. One of the important things for guys to remember is to be in great shape, so if you do have something go wrong, you don't get yourself behind to start.
|
He's probably saying, 'Why haven't I played all year? I was asking the same thing.
|
He's progressed a great deal. The biggest thing was understanding what we're doing. He's a lively guy. A little wild sometimes. But he's becoming more under control, doing more things that really help his teammates.
|
He's seems to be very, very happy about coming back and letting me get on [him] again.
|
Hopefully this gives us some confidence to try to get better. That's the biggest thing.
|
Hopefully, this gives us some confidence to try to get better, that's the biggest thing. We've had pretty good success when we run our offense properly. Teams that play playoff-type basketball know what tough execution is and how to do it.

I could have passed the ball into Yao sitting on the bench he was so wide open. He got what he wanted and we didn't put any defensive pressure on him.
|
I didn't know (which team) was still trying to make the playoffs. They knocked us around. They put us on the floor when we went in (the paint). They were terrific defensively. They played as hard as anyone's played us all year long.
|
I didn't know who was still trying to make the playoffs. They looked like the team that wants to be in the playoffs and we looked like we don't want to be there.
|
I don't know if it's good or bad, but we kind of gave him the starting job. He didn't really earn it. He'll be just fine. It's good for him to see different things and for us to see how he works through it, how he fights back.
|
I don't know if you call it leadership or what have you. But he's just got some toughness about him. He's had to work hard and those are the things you can't make someone do. You have to want to do that.
|
I don't know what's going on. (But) it's very obvious something's going on.
