It was high energy. He hadn't touched a ball for a week, so it took him a minute to get his rhythm. Once he did, we kind of took off. Then, he was doing the things he always does.

The second half they just lured us to sleep and made open shots. Once we turned the ball over, they were into the break, somebody gets a wide-open three, and somebody gets one to the basket. It was like they teased us a little bit and then they go up 16 or 17 points.

Shavlik is a little bit stronger than people think. He can rebound the ball in traffic. Offensively, he can put the ball down on the floor. Once he gets a 15- or 16-foot jump shot, I think he can be an effective player. I think people discredit his toughness. I think as he plays a little bit more, the toughness will come out, the ball skills will come out. Right now, he?s got to work on that jump shot.

I'm not opposed to ever having three or four guys scoring the ball for us.

I know who he is now. He's a lot better than I thought he'd be. He can pass the ball a little bit, he can rebound, he has a nice little jump shot. He's been a pleasant surprise. You see a big guy walk in the training room, you hope he's on your team.

We want to funnel the ball to him on defense. And you know what? He's a much better offensive player than people give him credit for. We're going to give him a chance to show it.

We tried to put the ball in Chris' hands a lot more, especially down the stretch.

He'll have the ball in his hands. I'm going to figure out what's best for him to play. I think the ball can be distributed and still be in his hands. We'll work out a way to make it work. I'm so looking forward to it.
