Tim Legler

Eventually, San Antonio, they get the win.

as they typically do.

Portland wasn't their best, but the one thing I'm thinking about watching that game, and I love Avdija.

We actually had a chance to sit with him in the green room before the game.

I've never met him.

He came in and did 15 minutes with us.

It was probably...

Maybe the best player interview we did all year.

First of all, the guy's got an incredibly engaging, outgoing personality.

He likes doing the interview process.

He gave really insightful answers.

We talked about his history in Maccabi and everything and coming over here and being a young man and now going to Portland when you're starting to find yourself in Washington.

He took us through all that stuff.

So I'm really pulling for this guy.

But the one thing...

He has to add, and it was so obvious to me in watching this game, he has to have a step-back jump shot.

He doesn't have one.

His game is power and force downhill, and he's really good at it.

And he gets to the line 10 times most nights.

He didn't get to the line in this game, and it hurt their offense.
