At this point I could really care less about winning, and just about seeing the players mature. As long as our young players get better, I'm happy. I'm especially happy when T-Will plays well. It seems that as long as his minutes are numbered he plays well. Also it seems like he learned his lesson, as his shot selection has improved vastly.
