I'd understand if he would just be here for Scott. Some guys don't need a guard. Some need a forward who can jump like Scott. Some teams don't need some types of players. I understand this is a business, and they have a job to do.

Indiana and Reggie were a match made in heaven.

I don't think you're going to hear anything about Phil's next step in the NBA, if there is a next step in the NBA, until a new champion is crowned. I don't think Phil is going to accelerate the pace of any discussions. He has obligations that are non-NBA related. As it turns out, his calendar of engagements ... frees itself right around the time the NBA playoffs conclude. That's the time when we could really jump into it if there are serious offers.

That's a pretty good leap.

When he was 4, he found this little old trampoline in our back yard. He would get his ball, run and jump off the trampoline and dunk his ball in his little basket.

He runs the team well and hits the open jump shot." ()

He's a bust your butt kind of wrestler. He works hard in practice. He's had a rough time this year with injuries, but even so he's there every single day, icing, conditioning, jump roping -- whatever he had to do. He's an awesome kid to have in that room. I'm excited that he's only a sophomore.

He was one that didn't jump right in right away. He just kind of sat back and watched, but once he was secure and felt he could do something, he'd join right in.

I always talk about that big jump guys make between their first and second year, and Kenechi is right where he's supposed to be. In the second year, you understand what you are.

He transitions from dribble to jump shot really well. I mean really well.

If it looks like it tomorrow then I'll jump to it. We're not going to evacuate this time, though. We didn't evacuate through Ivan. We did at Dennis, and we're kind of burned out on it. We're just going to stay here and ride it out unless we get to a real-real big (Category) 4.

If someone told me, 'Hey Jag, you want to buy an airport for $3 million?' I would jump all over it. There's several ways the city could pay for it - through (federal aviation) bonds or owner financing. It could be a cash-less option. If someone offered me that, I'd take it.

He's a young David Robinson with a better jump shot.

He's become our No. 1 option on offense. This season, he has become better moving without the ball to get open shots. There are still times he settles for jump shots, but even if that is all he does, you'd still have a hard time with him because of the way he elevates.

He hasn't been at his best in the last 3-4 months. His ankle is almost better so we'll test his vertical again soon. I don't see why he can't get to 43 or 44 inches.

There is, and will continue to be, I believe, an excess of 'dot-com' frenzy, where investors who feel they missed out on the first wave should jump in on the next wave, and so on.

His only real weakness is his inconsistency with his jump shot. It's not horrible, and he has good range. It's just not as consistent as you'd like it to be.

He's got such great bounce and elevation, he shot it on some 6-5 guys and you'd think he was the biggest guy out there. He transitions from dribble into jump shot really well, I mean really well. That kid's going to have a fine career in front of him.

He's finishing around the basket a lot more. He relied mostly on his jump shot before, but now he's scoring more around the basket.

He's bullet quick, and a true scorer. There are other small quick guys. But the big thing that separates him is he's got great range on his jump shot. He can shoot the 3 without any problem.

He's going to get better. It's a big jump from Double-A to the big leagues. He's hit everywhere he's been. If you've hit everywhere you've been, you should hit where you're going.

He's good guy and a good coach, so I hope people give him a chance before they jump to anything. I know he's a competitor and he's a very energetic coach that likes to get out there. He talked about winning right away, getting to the tournament. I like the impression he gave us.

He came out of nowhere. An adrenaline rush will do it to you. That's all it takes. One good jump and you can relax for the rest of the day.

He might jump right in and be able to take off. If you don't have an injury, you can get ready a lot quicker. ... I might look back at the first part of the season and say, 'Well, we needed another five days.' Right now, I don't know. We'll get him to pitch even if it's over in the Minor Leagues. If he ends up being the better candidate, he moves to the head of the class.

He made a big jump this summer. That's when you create leadership opportunities. Isaiah is one of those special guys.

He does have another level that he goes to. Some games you just have to jump on and enjoy the ride.
