I love his competitiveness, his toughness, he's just a guy who goes out and plays to win every time on the court. I'm excited to coach him and feel like he can at least reach or exceed expectations of how he played last year. Ricky, we are excited to watch him play and I'm looking for a huge year out of both him and Chris Lowe."
