“He's one of the best players in the league and he's taken some heat for being a slow starter.”
John Gibbons
“He wasn't one of our better players at this point. If you're not a starter, you have to have another role and that's the biggest thing, I think.”
Marvin Lewis
“This whole week we're going to experiment with our lineup. Every player on our team is a starter. We're going to keep working and we'll get better.”
Chuck Huggins
“I was the only returning starter. We just didn't have the players top to bottom that we had before, and we ran into some good teams.”
Clint Johnson
“I've never been through so many ups and downs in one season. To go from starter to not playing. To go from traded to not traded and to play again, it's been crazy. It taught me to keep things in perspective and enjoy basketball. I come to the gym ready to play and good things happen.”
Steven Hunter
“He's a slow starter and it's been that way most of the season -- he gets better as the match goes on. I don't know what fired him up, but he got a second wind and it was over.”
Steve Eckert
“Mock is filthy. He could be a front-end starter in the big leagues, a number one or number two guy who can eat up innings. I'm excited about his potential and the chance to work with him.”
