bad dominant environment nba ready team veteran worst
Secondly, Tyrus can't go to a bad team in the NBA and make that team better. That would be the worst environment for him. He's 19 years old and would have to go to a veteran team. He's not ready to go and be a dominant player, not emotionally or physically.
against arkansas bad close decided either games good home lost played points south team three
Unfortunately they've lost some close games, but I don't look at a team as good or bad if two or three games were decided by three points either way. Arkansas played really well at home against South Carolina, and we'll have to be much better than we were against Alabama.

When you have a player like Tyrus, a guy who can just roam around a basket and protect you from defensive mistakes, it allows you to do things other teams can't. He has a wonderful gift for timing when blocking shots.

When you do back away and look at it, we are awful young. I guess there is a little element of surprise.
call draft man name phone putting since suspected tested waters year
When Brandon called me on the phone and said he was going to put his name in the draft -- and he couldn't come back, since he had tested the waters a year ago -- the first call I made was to Glen Davis, ... And I told Glen, 'Brandon's putting his name in the draft' -- and Glen had kind of suspected that already -- 'and now it's on you.' I said, 'You wanted to be the man -- now you are the man.'

We knew that if we were to win, we were going to have to hit some outside shots. But we never could get offense going from the outside. We were 0-for-6 from three-point range.

We're shortening the competitive segments in practice to try to keep an edge, but at the same time try to avoid an injury.
