They don't make many mistakes and that's what makes them successful.
improving quick
They're small, but they're really quick and they can shoot. And they're improving every game.
accepted group improved practice roles skills stayed together
This group has probably improved through practice more than any group I've had. That's because they have the skills to do it, but they also accepted their roles and really stayed together as a team.

They give us size at every position, and that's our advantage. But it's not just that. They all run the floor well and can play above the rim.

We've got a lot of new systems going.

foul hope
We just have to hope we don't get into foul trouble.
