He is a very skilled player and we look forward to seeing him utilize those skills this season.

Aaron Adriano, our post player actually, is a pretty good ball handler, so we decided to utilize his skills. We moved him up front. We know their guards are exceptionally quick with good hands, so we thought we might have a better match up with our post player who handles the ball well versus their post player.

A smooth sea never made a skilled mariner

He blossomed through the season. He has been a good player all season, but he got better and better as the season went along. Toward the end of the regular season, he became an absolute star player.

Sam is our strongest and most skilled player. With him and with the way Michael Williams is playing right now, we have what some of our opponents might call a two-headed monster.

I have been looking forward to this game since last season.
