Derek also is very unselfish. He will always hit the open guy, which is the mark of a good player. He realizes that it takes all five guys on the floor to win the game. Even though he could go out and score 40 or 50 points, he knows that we wouldn't win many games like that.

He rebounds well and boxed out well. It's hard to get around him because he's so wide.

He should be hopefully ready to roll by then.

We never got in a good flow. Our shots weren't falling early and we never really worked our way out of it.

At least we're a week and a half ahead of schedule from last year.
