I think his commitment to defense has gotten him into a rhythm offensively. I have asked him for more of a defensive effort, and he has responded. Offensively, he knows we are going to go through him, but his defense has made him better on both ends.
More Quotes from Nate McMillan:
We want him to commit. If Zach commits to working and getting himself in shape and committed to carrying this team, where he is a big part, then he can help this team out a lot. He is a very good player with a lot of potential.Nate McMillan
The last couple of games he has worked harder and tried to do the things we've asked him to do, to get down there deep. He's one of our best perimeter shooters. As long as he's not out there all the time, it's fine.

Kirilenko does such a good job of defending. I drew up a play to get him away from the ball and he still came all the way from the weak side to block the shot.

We can't put together 48 minutes and we're saying the same thing every single night and every single day. It's just drama and it constantly goes on with this team. Until we adjust the attitude of playing the game, it's going to get worse before it gets better.

They started to hit us with the pick-and-roll and the trap, and then they spread us out with their shooters. I thought we could win this game, but it's not a 36-minute game -- it's a 48-minute game.

I thought he Randolph was being aggressive. He was getting some double teams early, and missed some shots. He didn't have the lift and was attacking the rim. In the second half he got more aggressive, and when he did went to the basket with aggressive moves.
