The teams that have been saying they're the Celtics of the WNBA are the ones with the worst records, so we aren't going to claim that ... We dug a hole for ourselves being 7-6, and we're fourth in our conference.
We have five players in here who can make plays ... That’s what our starting five (including Jackson, Bird, Swoopes, Swin Cash and Yolanda Griffith) has been trained to do since birth – make plays. Every one of us has been the go-to player at some point in our careers and has had to make plays. When it’s a new system and a new team – to be honest, it’s not just second nature, the way it will be in probably a few weeks. But we’ll get there.
Especially with the team we have here - Lauren Jackson, Sheryl Swoopes, Swin Cash, Yolanda Griffith, that's not going to be my role, to score ... My role is just to get them the ball where they need to get it. That's really easy because they're great players and they're going to do great things with it.
I'm excited for the 20th ... Sheryl called this morning and said she was excited about the draft, wished me a good draft day. I said, 'That's interesting. First time that's ever happened to me, somebody's wished me a good draft day.' Yolanda (Griffith)'s excited. I stay in contact with Sue (Bird) and Lauren (Jackson) and they're all excited about the additions that we've made.
