The type of athletes we draft still need types of versatility on the defense side of the ball, run the offense. You should still be concerned on the offense side of the ball.

Larry Brown thought Steve Francis was a Larry Brown type of player.

They have very good athletes on their team, ... They have some kids who can really run the ball. We've been concentrating on taking away the things they do best.

I just want to see him run the offense, make good decisions, get rid of the ball quickly. I know the physical part will be there, the accuracy, everything else. I know he'll do that. But just to make sure he's focused in and running the offense.

I told them (open shots) would be there if they would move the ball and run the offense. This was the best game we've played all the way through. (The offense) just clicked, and the boys did what they were supposed to do.

My thought has always been completion. Maybe you have to rebound better, shoot better, hit free throws, handle the ball, defend better. You have to do all those things in the course of a game.
