We're not in such dire straits as everyone thinks. We're probably in the rebuilding process, whatever, but I think we're a couple pieces away, or not that far away from getting to where we want to be. ... But it's a process.

He's also been the catalyst I think for those guys. Getting the ball into them, being the quarterback, being the defensive guy, knocking down big shots and being the leader of that team. I think he's been huge.

I'm probably not well-versed enough on the process other than to think that the way this team has been playing the last three or four weeks, I find it hard to believe that we're not one of the top 34 teams around the country. It's just going to make for a long week, I can tell you that.
