UCLA Hoops Practice Extras

Malcolm Lee, on Monday's practice:
"This was the first practice that we had where everybody felt really good. At one point we only had 10 people practicing, and there were no subs. If one person was about to get hurt, you had to tell them to just suck it up, because we had no more bodies. It felt really good today to have almost everyone out here."

James Keefe, on what he hopes to see Wednesday:
"I just hope we gel well. If you just look player to player, we have a lot of talent. But the season is going to depend on how we gel as a team. How we play team defense, how we run our offense. That's what I'm hoping for on (Wednesday), that we come out as a team."

Reeves Nelson, on his early expectations:
"I'm not going into it expecting to start or get minutes. I know it's going to be a big adjustment; all the freshmen are used to dominating. But I think I'll pick it up pretty easy."
