We narrowed it down to Jackson and then Freddie Jones (who would take the last shot). Tony got up into Jackson, which I thought was the right thing to do, and they had to shoot a fade-away shot.
More Quotes from Doc Rivers:
He's going to help us. When, I don't know. It could be tonight. It could be whenever. With his size, he's going to have a value for us. You don't realize how big he is until he walks into your own locker room. He was a No. 1 pick and hasn't done what people thought he would, but I think there's still time.Doc Rivers
Duncan deserves everything he gets, as far as I'm concerned. It's frustrating guarding Tim Duncan even if they think he's not getting the calls. He's a hell of a basketball player.

He's not going to be a guy that will be featured on ESPN, but he may be a guy that is featured on our videotape when we're watching film as a team. To me, that's always more important. He does a lot of things well and he does them the right way. His best quality is that he plays with a calm and he gets the job done. He's so good at letting the game come to him.

That was a great win for us. We had control of it at times, but you know New Jersey is going to fight back because they are so talented. I thought it was nice that when they did fight back, and took the lead, we kept our composure. We kept fighting, and good things happen when you do that.

One of our scouts loved him and we considered him. Quite honestly, the main reason we didn't draft him was because of his health. He had the foot injury in college. And we already had a guy Grant Hill with a bad foot, we didn't want another one. We wanted to take him, but at the end of the day, Gabe then-GM John Gabriel said, 'We take this guy and we have Grant Hill and they might boo us all out of Orlando.' And Gabe was right.
