You'd be stupid to think he's not a great player considering what he does for Duke. But Salim can create his shot against anyone, somebody 6-foot-4, 6-7, fast, long, tall. It doesn't matter. I don't see how anybody can say a college player is a better shooter than Salim.»

This year, I'm going to have the opportunity to be more of an option offensively. I'll be more aggressive on the offensive end and hopefully I'll be able to show what I can do.»
