But I can't risk making matters worse by wearing him out right now. We'll be as careful as possible while making sure we get him back on track and ready for the season.

I just think we're talking about a kid with a different mind-set. We're talking about a guy that wanted to go somewhere and establish himself, to the point where he can make a difference.

came complacent difference fourth good key move moving quarter resulted shots third
In the third quarter, everything was smooth. We were moving the basketball. We got good shots and we came out of the quarter up by six. Then in the fourth quarter, we got complacent and wouldn't move the basketball, and that resulted in some key turnovers that they capitalized on. That was the difference in the game.
guy somewhat
I'm somewhat surprised, but I'm not the guy making the decisions.
catch playing tough
Once they got the lead, we were playing catch up. It was tough for us to get back in it.
figure growing handling looks nice player plays shot starting trying
He's starting to figure it out. It's nice to see. His shot looks like a shot right now, and he's making it. He's handling the ball, making plays and he's trying to defend. It's all a part of growing up and being a better player in this league.
everybody fact players realize shocked terms versatile
I didn't realize how versatile he really is. Everybody was shocked by the triple-double. I wasn't shocked because I think the fact he can rebound, score, defend, have assists, he does everything a person can do in terms of getting triple-doubles. You can't say that about a lot of players in the league.
ball extremely game good job needed played rookie
He played extremely well. He didn't play like a rookie tonight. He made shots, he got the ball where it needed to go. He did a good job defensively. It was a well-rounded game for him.

basically bit brand coaching coming guys last staff team year
I feel a little bit better because everything isn't brand new. Last year the coaching staff and the team were all coming in here at basically the same time. This year we've got guys who know what we want and how we like to do things.
career double nice pick since tough
He's on a nice little roll. You have to pick your times when you double him. ... He's a load. He's a career double-double since he's been in the league. He makes it tough for a lot of teams.
afforded asked asking calls guys team
I'm not asking for preferential treatment. All I'm asking is that my guys are afforded the same calls the other team is getting. That's all I've ever asked for.
fourth move quarter stagnant
The fourth quarter we went flat. We just didn't execute, we didn't move the ball, we got very stagnant and we were able to be guarded.
