Akeem tweet about nothing. Pitino talked with Akeem about it, and he said it was about nothing.
Akeem has been an awesome teammate, a great leader. "He's about winning."
Reggie's going to have to understand he hasn't played in a long time. Really going to be able to help but there will be an adjustment period. Also have to remember he's coming from the Missouri Valley.
Perimeter shooting is a concern. Thinks Nate will make a jump. Dupree has improved his shooting. Akeem has shown he can shoot. Hurt and Gilbert are good shooters, and it's something we've addressed. Hard to say who the best is.
Team is bought in now but adversity hasn't hit yet. Team seams eager to move on from last year, though.
"I want our fans to be proud of what we're doing...we've got great fans."
Davonte provided great length, now have to play smaller, which might hurt from a defensive perspective.
Dupree is the backup point guard.
Amir Coffey is a "tremendous" passer and better defender than he thought he'd be. Always worried about if he's ready physically, but he's ready.
Lynch participated in 15 minutes of contact drills recently.
Curry's "really, really talented. Everyone talks about Amir, but Eric and Michael are really talented as well." Curry runs really well and rebounds at a high rate. Makes good moves but needs to finish better. Great passer. Pretty developed physically, will be ready to go. "He has no idea how good he can become, and that's exciting."
Kids make mistakes, you have to educate them and hold them accountable.
Ed, Kimani, and Ben complement each other. Ed has fresh ideas.
Murphy has worked on getting crafty and finishing around the rim. He's undersized and will have to be a Paul Millsap-type player.
