He seems to have kind of an innate understanding of the game for someone as young as he is. I don't think it will be three years before he plays. I think (Lakers coach Phil Jackson) will like him.

He had good range, ... much farther than a smaller person like him should have had. Because he wasn't as big as most players, he had to learn more about the game, too. He always seemed to make the right pass and never seemed to take a bad shot. And I'll tell you, he was a god in San Francisco's Chinatown.

They'd come all the way from Korea, so we arranged for some private instruction.

When he said the player was 6-7, I was skeptical.
