O'Connor's first impression of a Corbin-run camp session?
"They got tired quick," he said.
But O'Connor liked what he saw from his office window that overlooks the practice courts at Zions Bank Basketball Center.
"It was a good tired," he said, "because they got tired because they were working."
That's what camp is all about for Corbin.
Not that he spent a lot of time trying to pump his players up with a motivational pre-camp pep talk.
"I didn't want to have them sit there and fall asleep and (then) try to wake them up for practice," he joked.
Corbin's message: "Just to be ready to play. Everybody come in and compete, conduct yourselves as professionals."
Playing nice with all of the new guys when they come in on a seemingly daily basis is a given.

Re: UgottaloveMaxie How about the LA Lakers. Mr. Fisher is hardly an "all-star point guard". He is serviceable and competent, and if the Jazz could get that from Mr. Harris and Watson, and develop an inside defensive presence, which they More..
I do not approve of signing Josh Howard and see no point in bringing him here... we have gordan hayward, cj miles, and Alec burk already, why would you bring in a veteran to take time away from developing your young talent? Plus Howard is coming back More..
