On having multiple freshman guards:
"They all are very different from each other, in so many ways. I guess that's really good. The trick for every freshman is to find what they're good at and try to maximize that to get them on the floor. That's what's going to get them some playing time. What's going to keep them off the floor is what they struggle with. Each of them have skills that can help them, and each of them have things they need to be careful with. But, its early. I don't think I would feel good about having all three of them in the game at the same time. I don't know if we would be a really good team if we had to do that. If we try different combinations, playing them here and there, maybe if we play them with the right people they can be effective."
On having a wider variety to choose from on the bench:
"I think it could eventually turn out to be really good. Sometimes the more options you have, the less you want to use them because when you have a lot of options, if you're not careful you tend to change your players more frequently. If you have less options, you tend to go with people longer and give them more time. It's going to take some getting used to for our players too. Stewie, Moriah, Kaleena are used to playing thirty-five minutes every night last year, they got accustomed to that and they like it. Now, they're going to have to get used to, maybe, not quite playing that many minutes."
Do you think the "I don't think I would feel good about having all three of them in the game at the same time".
