Near the end of his press conference today, Self was asked about Zach Clemence and Bobby K.J. Adams. He had plenty to say about both.
"Well, I think Zach is coming fast," said Self. "His hands are good. He's strength away. So let's not get too carried away, but the floor is more stretched with him in the game. I think we've been better offensively in practice many days with him in the game just because it opens up other things for people that are pretty good at driving the ball and those sorts of things. I think KJ has kind of emerged as maybe our second-best offender behind Juan. I like where he is. Offensively, he's, I don't want to say behind because there's some things he does actually as well as anybody else on the team as far as moving the ball and drive to pass and those sorts of things, but we probably have more confidence in KJ at this juncture defensively than offensively, and probably more with Zach offensively than defensively, to be candid, but they're both going to be really good players. Really good."
