Driving this whole train right now and that's OK with me. Our frosh and soph pgs are playing that position with such poise and maturity. I'm utterly and completely impressed.

Mason , Graham and Oubre have literally willed the team into playing the way the game ought to be played more consistently lately.

Reminds me a lot of when Hinrich, Gooden and Collison did the same for the 2000 team that had some upperclassmen who just didn't have "it"

Guys like Ellis, Selden and Traylor are so much more comfortable when someone else takes the leadership role.

I can't say enough about these 3 guys. Mason is a bulldog. Tough. Mature. Back down to no one.

Graham is an equisite point guard. And we've only begun to see what he can do. The maturity. The IQ. The handles. He's the very definition of a PG.

Oubre. What can I say? I'm a sucker for a small forward who defends and rebounds. Add on top of it a silky smooth, beyond his years offensive game and you have something very special.

What they all 3 have in common? Toughness. Mental toughness. If you don't want it then give me the damn ball and get the hell out of the way.

So happy that this attitude appears to be rubbing off. Push pressure attack. All 3 guys live by it. And the other guys have taken note.
