re: where's Jordan Mickey?

From media day

FORWARD JORDAN MICKEY

On the team’s opening practices …
“So far, I definitely like what I am seeing from our team. We have the makings to be a great team. We have all the pieces we need. I am looking forward to getting the season started.”

On leadership advice he received from Johnny O’Bryant III…
“I talked to Johnny (O’Bryant III) about two weeks ago. He told me to play the game and lead by example.”

On newcomer Elbert Robinson III and his improvement over the summer…
“Elbert improved dramatically over the summer. He’s lost a lot of weight. He’s gotten better with his footwork and has been able to get up the floor better now. He has made great strides to do well for us this year.”

On Josh Gray and what he brings to the team …
“Josh is always trying to point guys in the right direction. He is a great leader. He’s a different athlete than what we had on the team last year. He’s a bigger guy, a bigger defender. I think Josh can score at this level. He’s able to finish over big guys and be able to rise up and shoot the ball well. He will definitely help us out.”

On improving free throws during the offseason …
“We have been shooting more free throws at practice. At the end of practice, everybody has to try to make 50 free throws before we leave. That’s definitely going to show down the road when we get in those close games.”
