Those guys have been in the program now for two years, basically. They're not young anymore. We expect them to continue to develop. Just to be able to get their hands on the ball and make those plays speaks volumes about their ability to be playmakers.

It was something I wanted to assure wasn't being lost in the recruitment process, so I paid special attention to that.
