headliner Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 “I think he’s got a lot of confidence in his strength and his physical ability now that he actually looks for contact when he drives to the basket.” Quick, call the pucks, they could use all the help they can get, I hear. Now, I’ll wait until I see it in actual games before I’ll truly believe it because the kid has had a way of shying away from the heavy lifting in the past. But there really is something kind of new about him. He’s more engaging with us (I had the longest, off-the-record, just-chewing-the-fat conversation with him in the doorway of the practice gym yesterday than I’ve had in total in the three years he’s been here) and he seems far more comfortable with his teammates and himself than he’s been in the past (goofing around, being in the middle of things rather than off to the side watching). On the court, he’s passing up shots to swing the ball, he’s playing smart defence and he’s mixing it up on the block. The Star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
