Esteban is an interesting player. He's a good rebounder and is physical around the basket, and those are elements our team needs. We feel he's a guy that can improve and we look forward to working with him.

I think everybody had a good rhythm tonight. We wanted to continue to attack the basket. Sometimes we tend to get away from what gets us leads and not play as hard.

Joe has tremendous upside and provides our franchise with a player whose talents are worthy of All-Star consideration, ... He has the versatility to play several positions for Coach (Mike) Woodson. Not only is Joe extremely gifted on the offensive end, his size on defense will give us a tremendous advantage against most teams. When you team him up with a combination of Josh Childress, Josh Smith, Al Harrington, Marvin Williams, Salim Stoudamire and Zaza Pachulia, we feel we have one of the best up-and-coming rosters in the league.

In a rebuilding situation like we're in, that's a good position to be in. That's not to say something is going to happen just because you have room; at least you have the flexibility to do something if you decide it works for you.

Gary is doing a good job. He is playing physical underneath, getting good looks at the basket and converting everything. He has been doing what we need for us to win.

She is a good defensive player and she could penetrate, take it hard to the basket. Eventually, her outside shots began to fall.
