With you on that.
My only complaint is that I'm not sure how much I like him taking shots at the end of the game though...
Other than that, he does everything we need him to do:
- Energy
- Instant offense
- Penetration
- Takes care of the ball
To think...we wanted Lue to back us up last year...

It's going to stay in my mind until we win it all."
