"Yes. Marquis will be out here tomorrow actually and he's excited about joining us. He's been calling us nearly everyday to find out how we're doing. He'll start playing with us as we open up play in The Rocky Mountain Revue which will be on Friday."

The most encouraging thing in the article. Good to see that Marquis is still anxious to get out and work on his game, despite the fact that he now makes more than anybody in last years draft class.

I also though these Charlie Parker quotes were intersting:

"Jon is playing pretty well. He's another guy we expect good things from. He's been pretty good for us. We'd still kind of like to see him adapt more to the point but right now he's still more of a two guard. Still, he's got skills and athletic ability. He's strong and physical plus he's been with us a year so he kind of knows what we want to defensively and at this point he could be our best defensive player after Josh."

and

"I'm not sure what big guys there even are to talk about. Most big guys come at great value. To get a good one you have to give up something or else no one is going to let them go so the chances of picking up a big are going to be pretty slim I think."

then there is

"The way teams look right now we're going to have to get better defensively as they've added some excellent offensive players but the improvement of our defense has been our choice all along regardless of what everybody else does. We just have to look in house first."

"I think that getting Stackhouse and Laettner is probably more offense than defense but we'll just have to show up with what we have and try to get better defensively above everything."

Good article. Thanks for posting it Uberfan.
Always exciting to read about the young 'uns and their progress.

So regardless of any big trades we will be focusing on defense. Great answer!

I was shocked how athletic Jon really is.
