What was the first thing that you said to Isiah Swann when you saw him on the court in Germany?
I told him that we are going to get this game. I really felt like we could have beat ratiopharm Ulm at home.
How has Isiah Swann developed as a player since Florida State?
He has always been a good shooter. His team likes to play off him. He loves the game so much and he has played exactly how I expected he would in Germany. He is always growing as a player.
