“We traded up to get him because Tony, because we all knew what he could be, ... We all understand the blueprint now. It's not hard. It's fun.”
Bill Polian
“That's something Tony does a lot. I knew something was going to happen. We weren't going to sit still. We were going to put things in motion. I enjoy it.”
David Eckstein
“I knew Chris Burnett was coming here, and I've been playing with Tony Cruz and Steve Vento since I was a kid.”
Matt Dunn
“I know Tony and I knew he had done something he was ashamed of. I could see it in his face. So, I took him out of the game, did not put him back in, even though we were down four with a minute to go.”
Jim Larranaga
“Tony is in a good rhythm. We knew when he was available what he could bring to the team, and we knew he had the ability to score. I don't think everyone knew he could be effective at both perimeter scoring and going to the basket and creating for other people. Right now, he's kind of our instant offense off the bench.”
Flip Saunders
“We knew Carmine was going to have a good year, but Tony has been phenomenal.”
Ron Fussell
“We knew they were undersized down low, so we wanted to take advantage of that. Tony played really big for us and was a big key in the win.”
