They have leadership, and it looks like they have great chemistry on their team and they are really fun to watch. I’m happy that Indiana University is having so much success under Coach this year.”\nQ: How do you compare Gordon to some of the other freshmen across the country?\n“Well, Beasley, Mayo, Gordon, the kid at Memphis, just some terrific talented basketball players who will not only come into their college teams with unbelievable amounts of raw abilities, but it looks like all these young men know how to play the game. I love the way that Gordon is able to set people up. He’s probably the most dynamic scorer in the nation. He knows how to make other players better.”\nQ: How do you think IU comes out of the conference?\n“I think they’re going to play well. Right now, rankings-wise, they’re the best team in the conference. Obviously, Indiana is going to hit some speed bumps. There are going to be some tough games, but like I said, Indiana has great balance. It looks like their fundamentals and their principals are really solid, especially on the defensive end. And when you have a cat like Gordon, and D.J. White who can score the basketball, you always know you’re going to be in games whether you’re at home or on the road.”
