On Milwaukee’s playoff performance:

"“Once we get to the playoffs we can beat basically anybody, you know, and it was a tough series against Toronto — Toronto is a tough team — but we had our chances and this team has a lot of things it can get better at. I think as time goes by, if this team sticks together, this will only be the beginning.”"

On his struggles this season:

"“For me, personally, it was tough. I couldn’t bring to the table what I normally bring. It’s something that I was supposed to do and bring to this team, but I couldn’t. I’ll try to do better.”"

On first year adjustments as a Buck:

"“With most shooting, you make some, and you miss. That’s how basketball is, that’s how shooting is.  Not just me, but with everybody. But you know, this was the first year with everything kind of new, I’m an experienced guy and should be able to adjust better to it, but obviously we didn’t have time for certain things as we had to get to winning, because if we didn’t do that we wouldn’t have made the playoffs.”"

On the importance of most of the team returning next year:

"“A lot of people don’t realize how important it is to have the same core and same guys come back, because every year if you add new people it takes time to adjust and it takes time to get guys comfortable and produce the way you’re supposed to.”"
