addition both brings defend defense experience gain great guard losing nba opportunity player playing point shooting team tough veteran
It's tough losing a veteran player like Sam, but this was a great opportunity for us to gain a good, young combo guard. Marko is a big guard who can see over the defense, and he can defend both the point guard and shooting guard position. We feel we've really upgraded our defense and our team with the addition of Marko. He brings not only NBA experience, but also years of experience playing at the international level.

Confidence is a funny thing. You shoot great when you have it. I'm sure that's some of it, losing the starting position and then coming back. I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.
