incredibly kid possibly talented
He's an incredibly talented kid but he's a very young kid. I said the other day I would like to keep him another year. I'd like to keep him another two years if I possibly could.
drafted gifted great hate incredibly kid millions needs next pass potential top year
He's an incredibly gifted kid with great potential who probably needs to come back next year but can't, because he's going to be drafted in the top five, probably. He can't come back and pass on millions and millions of dollars. That's our system. I hate it, but I'm going to tell him if he's going to be in the top five, which I keep hearing, he needs to go.

He can get people the ball from 90 feet to two feet. I've never seen anybody get to the rim, and as a big guy comes over, at the last second put the ball in the hands of a big guy and have the guy dunk. He reminds me of Jason Kidd in that he could get that double-figure rebound game, he could get steals, assists, he certainly can shoot the basketball.
team flaws flawed
Every team is flawed. There hasn't been a truly complete team in a while.
team blessed kids
Sometimes you're blessed with teams that are incredibly talented, but there's chaos. But sometimes you're blessed, as I have been this year, to have kids who think the same way you do.
basketball mistake mean
We feel that the 2-2-1 press is a very effective means of controlling tempo and providing us with opportunities to capitalize on the mistakes of our opponents. At the same time we feel it is a very safe press because we work very hard at the necessary rotations.
basketball block player
We stop practice every time we see one of our players not blocking out.
