afraid eight guy points
That's huge. Here's a guy who's 6-10, and not only can he score, but he's not afraid to give up the ball. He had around eight or 10 assists; that's another 20 points he contributed to.

We've shot like this before. Actually, we've had games where we shot better from the outside. I'm not saying we shoot like that every game, but we can hit them if we get them.

He's probably the best 6-9 kid I've seen around here ever. I've never seen one with the size and ability he has to play the game. You don't find that too often. How many 6-9 kids can handle the ball, shoot it, are very agile and can create for himself and his teammates?

He's very aggressive -- smart and plays hard all the time.

He can make plays without scoring. He can catch the ball on the wing and draw a lot of attention. He can catch it on the block and draw a lot of attention. You can guard him one-on-one or you double- and triple-team him. Either way, he finds the open man.

He brings aggressiveness and takes some of the pressure off us having to go inside to score. The injuries from football slowed him some at the start of the season, but he's starting to come on.

I told the guys at halftime that's why everybody practices. We just needed to be patient, get into our offense, and not let them get a run.

He showed his leadership tonight. But he's grown so much both on and off the court. He knows that because of who he is, people are going to always be watching him, waiting for him to trip up. He knows that he has to carry himself well and be a decent citizen. He's doing that.
