Guys that are that tall are going to try to block shots all the time. He is going to get better. He knows what he's got to do. We need him in the game at all times.
Having those two guys makes everything easier. Last year, I was the post guy getting the ball down low. Now I don't have to get the ball as much. I can freelance and do whatever I want.
Look, it's a long season and we had a young team and guys get tired at times. But we've played well lately. Our guys aren't settling. Our goal is to win the national championship.
P.J. used to get on guys pretty hard in practice for making a mistake, and he'd kind of leave them there to stew about it. Now, he gets on them but also helps teach them how to correct the mistake.
I think it's very important this time of year. KP and I are the most experienced players on this team. We've seen everything. We have to bring it every night and show the younger guys what it takes.
They're two great players. They came ready to play, and we did our best job. I think we played pretty good defense on those guys and it was tough, because Tyrus is always jumping when you try to shoot a shot and he had a couple great blocks.
I know you're not supposed to look up to guys younger than you, but he's a guy I look up to. He rubs off on you.
I didn't know what to expect. Sometimes, the older guys pick on you, but Brendan took me under his wing like I was his brother.
