Channing has had a fabulous year. He's going to be either the rookie of the year or runner-up. I would make him the rookie of the year. |
Daniel has been playing well. |
Dick's a whale of a guy. He's a great coach, a great defensive coach, and he's a better guy than he is a coach. |
Do we need him? Yes. It's up to Kirk to have a good week of practice so we can get him in. Then it's up to Kirk when he does get in the games [to make sure] it's positive for him and positive for the team. He's probably a little frustrated and we're a little frustrated, and yet my analysis is that we sure could use Kirk. |
Every weakness he had was exposed, and those (NBA) guys didn't forget about it. That may have hurt him more in terms of his pro career than anything. So the risk is immense. But I don't say that in regards to Staf. I say that in regards to Jason and anybody thinking about doing that. |
Good questions. We'd be sitting here 22-4 if we played the 10 games we've lost like this. |
He may need another week of rehab. We don't want to rush it, but he could go next week or the middle of next week. |
He's 6-5, 6-6 and really, really versatile. I really like him. He's kind of like the old point-forward. |
He's a good kid. The guys like him, he's a personable kid, he's a good student - we're not going to have to worry about him in the classroom or anything - and kids from Mater Dei know how to play. |
He's a guy who's going to come in here and not have high expectations of playing time or anything else. David's just a kid that's happy to be here. He'll do whatever we want in practice to help the team, whether that's run the scout team or work down low with the big guys ... whatever we need him to do. |
He's had no problems. That's what kind of scares you, because if it's something not too serious, he's going to be up and at 'em. |
He's pretty complete. The only thing he has to do is get in the weight room and really bust it hard. |
He's probably so tired they'll need to take him home on a stretcher. But I'll tell you what; I'd hate to think where we'd be without him. |
I don't think I have to say it. This is a huge, huge weekend. |
I feel Chris will work really hard to get back. He was relieved that it wasn't anything more serious. He's a kid who can get back quickly because he is strong. |
