RE: Big Win!!

["Wright, Cecil" <Cecil.Wright@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Regardless of what some folks may say, Paul's passing the basketball better
than he has in the past as well.  So that means his rebounding improved.
His passing and assists have increased.  His scoring is still pretty
consistent, though his percentage is not yet where we would like it to be.

My question is:

What are the expectations that you have for this guy?  Do you want anything
less than perfection?

I don't think PP's overall game has improved but has remained the same. He's
rebounding more because of OB's request. This may extract some energy from
him as the season wears on. When he's not driving, he's a sub par ball
handler.
