JCF: So what’s the big focus for you this summer? When we see you back here for training camp in October, what will you be able to do then that you couldn’t do this past season?

CP: I want to work on three things in particular. I’m going to work on all aspects of my shot: 3-pointers, spot shooting, free throws -- just being a more consistent shooter because I think once I get guys scared that I can shoot the ball, that will open up my whole game and make it easier for me to pass, penetrate and get to the hole. So I definitely want to be more of a consistent shooter.

Secondly, I want to get stronger. When these bigger guys post me up on the block and I slide to the four, I need to be able to handle my own down there. It’s a physical game so obviously added strength will help me.

And then third, just ball handling. I want to be in pick-and-rolls next year, I want to have the ball in my hands and I want to be comfortable making plays for others and getting guys the ball. So those three things are going to be what I’m focusing on and working extremely hard on.

JCF: Are you doing summer league this year?

CP: It’s kind of up in the air. I’m definitely going to go; I want to be with the team and be with all the new guys. I just don’t know how much I’m going to play.

1.5 years ago everyone loved the guy but Max, but that's cause Max just hates everyone.

Half the board hates him now because we made the 8 seed last year and missed the playoffs this year.

Is it too late to adopt John Kerry as the board's patron saint?

Scola is the last one on your like list, its only a matter of time.

Marcus Morris was a bad pick.

Lack of fact check callout!

But yeah, Morris wasn't a good pick, and we have multiple people here who liked two guys who panned out that we could have had.

Everyone misses some opportunities. He's still done a pretty remarkable job.
