Hicks, Robinson, Wilson ... I don't want to jump the gun, but these guys are Alfred Fincher-type guys. Very focused, great athletes with very good work ethics.

When I say Dan Wilson is one of the good guys, for me, that's the ultimate compliment. Very few of us, in all walks of life, rarely say and do the same thing. There's nothing phony about Dan Wilson. He talks the talk and walks the walk. Anytime someone like that leaves, we're all worse off for it.

When we've been really good here, we've had guys that have been that way. You go back to when Alfred (Fincher) was here.

He's a young David Robinson with a better jump shot.

I'm ready to get back but I don't want to jump the gun. If I tried to jump the gun and had a setback, I'd look like an idiot.

I don't want to jump to any conclusions. I'd like to coach him for a while.
