He is the whole key to their team. When he gets his 18 to 19 points, everything else seems to fall into place.
Kevin does a good job moving him around and creating shots. He's got a very good feel and he's a good, hard cutter.
I would say it's gone the other way with him. I'm not anticipating him back Saturday and I'm not anticipating Corey back at 100 percent right away. We're probably going to have to keep going through this for at least the next couple of games.
I would say that our basketball team is totally different. Every guy on our team is playing a completely different role than they did a year ago.

Jo has been great. Sometimes the margin for winning and losing is so fragile.
I think it's a great comparison. Bobby Jones was a great runner in transition, he was a great athlete on the floor. I believe as David continues to grow, his shooting will get better. He's a very versatile guy.
I think it probably means something to their players because they understand what they're representing. A lot of times, it's the past players that they know are watching them that gives them a level of expectation of the way they're supposed to perform. I think that's a good thing for a program.
He has a great passion and vigor for life. He has great respect for people - where they come from, what their heritage is and what their beliefs are.
He has a great, great vigor for life.
He hasn't had big scoring nights. But he's also done other things.
He has the ability to take difficult shots one, to get them off and two, to be able to make them at a high percentage. He has a special gift and there is nothing you can do about it.
He (Green) is so quick and so fast, he can get out and pressure the ball on defense, and he gets the ball and just goes, which makes everyone play at a different speed.
He got back to playing the way he normally does.
