He's obviously got good qualities - he's got good touch around the basket - but it's his work ethic that allows him to be the quality player he is. I'm just saying I don't think there are many players that play with that type of intensity, particularly freshmen.

fire flow zone
It was the recognition in our zone offense. It comes in the flow of the game. It's not like we want to come down and fire up threes.
