The only thing I want is guys who play hard, play unselfishly, try to defend, try to rebound and play with some kind of intelligence. I think that's been an issue forever.

I think when your older guys are your leaders and don't play, sometimes it's hard for young kids to really, truly listen, even though they all have so much respect for him. Now that he is playing, I think his role probably has changed. I think (he leads) more by example.

You hope that you have some veteran guys who will pick them up, and as a coach, I have to keep reminding them of that. But it's difficult.

We tried but we just we have some deficiencies that hopefully Jalen will help alleviate. I think he'll take a lot of pressure off the perimeter people and make the big guys bigger.

I look out there and I see guys just running up and down the court.

This is the not the same situation I walked into in Detroit, ... Those guys all knew how to play. There weren't a lot of things I told them that they haven't heard or done before.

If you look at every team, the guys that play are going to be happy and the guys that don't play are going to be unhappy,

I know how much those two guys mean to us but we had some guys that simply didn't compete.
