Mark Gottfried Weekly Press Conference Transcript

Has Hillman’s play helped with the turnaround defensively?
“I think it is. I think it’s been a big part of it. I think as he’s played more minutes we’ve added another good perimeter defender into the game.”

Do you consider him (Hillman) the best perimeter defender right now?
“I don’t know that he’s the best. I think that he’s got some tools with his athleticism and I think there’s an experience part of the game, too, that he’s going to get as he plays. But I think he can do a very good job guarding good perimeter players in this league.”

Regarding the development in the post is coming depth wise, if you can get (Justin) Knox or (Yamene) Coleman to step up and be a 15-20 minute player per game, how much does that boost things for you guys?
“I think that would help a lot. We’ve played a lot with four guards on the floor at times, too. We’ve kind of gone with the small lineup at times. It’s helped us. I think we can play bigger which we haven’t done a lot but I think there are going to be some times where we need that to happen. Again, those guys need to be ready to play.”
