Steven always guards the other team's best front-court player. He relishes that role. But he's got to defend without getting in foul trouble.

I'm going to look hard at the chemistry someone brings from the other four guys on the court. I still see a positive ending available to this team, but we have to do our part.

They have a strong front court, but they also have fast guards who can shoot the three and penetrate down the lane.

I don?t think Sean shot the ball the way he can. He?s going to improve the 3-point area we were a little bit weak in this year.

Instead of making a 50-50 pass in transition, we want it to be a 75-25 opportunity.

If he responds, great. If he doesn't, those minutes are going to be hard to get. We can't play defense without urgency and tough-mindedness.
