I ran into assistant Jazz coach Mike Wells at the airport yesterday.
He was awesome. He had just finished doing some stuff with G-time at the USA camp. I'm sure he is sick of talking basketball with everyone he meets, but he talked to me for about 20 minutes about the team.
He said he spent the entire week with Tibor when he was here and had nothing but great things to say about him. He said he was stoked to be here and really excited to play in the NBA.
We talked about Dante and he said that he's never met a young kid that had such determination. He said that the rest of the guys on the team like him so much, that they are ready for him to be their floor leader, even though he is so young and likely to make mistakes.
While I was talking to him, someone made the post about Rudy leaving the France game with a limp. So I got to break that news to him. You can call me Woj. But he said that he hoped Rudy DID tweak his ankle, so that he would have to come home and not play with the France team anymore. He said the staff is constantly nervous with guys playing during the off-season.
Overall just a really great dude and it was fun to talk with him. I just thought I'd share the experience with you guys!
