POTENTIAL ABOUT MORE THAN PHYSICAL ABILITIES

"Players don’t reach that potential because of physical abilities alone.  They have to have that motivation, and they have to have, really, desire and commitment to the game...I could be the most talented basketball player in the country, but not really work hard, and so therefore I will never really reach my potential.  I always tell our coaches in recruiting, I don’t want to have to go out and use my imagination.  I want to go out and see what a player is willing to commit to do on the floor.  And then if we need to work on skills, that’s find.  But that heart and head is so important when you’re talking potential and development."
