00:00 They have some things they have to put together.
00:02 Mo was mentioning this before.
00:04 They need a guy who emotionally and from a scoring perspective in particular says, "No, it's my ball."
00:12 And in college, it really, you know, and I'm a big guy saying this, it has to be a guard that does that.
00:19 Because you could throw the ball down low, but if teams know it's coming,
00:22 there's no defensive three seconds, it's really difficult.
00:25 There's not the space, right?
00:26 You know what you have to do.
00:28 It's not that you have to go out and win.
00:30 You don't say to yourself, "We've got to win out."
00:32 You say, "All right, we made this lineup change.
00:36 Now who's going to be our guy that steps up and does it?"
00:40 I don't know if it's going to be Nolan.
00:42 I mean, Nolan's got his hand a lot of scoring, but he hasn't seemed to take the reins on that.
00:46 And then with Ryan, you know, he does really well creating,
00:50 but he doesn't seem to want to take that big shot all the time.
00:53 So they've got to find that.
