Tubby: We found a leader in Andre Hollins, a guy who we can put the ball in his hands

[BleedGopher]

per Pioneer Press:

"We found a leader in Andre Hollins, a guy who we can put the ball in his hands," Smith said. "I think Elliott Eliason got quality minutes, and he looked good doing it. Those are young guys - all freshmen - who haven't ... played in (the postseason)."

"I think we're capable of a lot of things next season," Hollins said. "But for now, we have to take it step by step. We're not looking to next season because we have games to play. We want to win, and we want to get better."

I want to buy Tubby a teleprompter. He has good things to say but the delivery....needs, um...work.

I think we finally have a dynamic guard and a go to scorer.

This is the kind of thing we only notice when the team is struggling. If he delivers on the court next season, we won't care how he delivers his sentences.

I think Hollins will end up being more of a scorer than McDonald was, but probably not be as good as McDonald was at dishing the ball.

I thought Ariel or Townsend Orr until the last few games. I think his shooting percentage will improve like theirs did, but I think his ceiling is higher. Good comparison though IMO. Go Gophers!
