Good interview. Entertaining stuff. They asked if he was gonna move away from Melo and towards focus on KP. He didn't bite on that. Asked about Jose being slow JH said he thinks Jose will be able to push, maybe not with the dribble but passing ahead.

A lot of the same stuff covered but a bit more detail. Basically he's gonna focus on pushing the ball and looking for early offense, run some of his Suns stuff and aspects of the Triangle after the D is set. Sounds like it certainly won't dominate the style of play but will still be a part of things but with a Horny Twist. LOL.

I noticed he didn't mention Wroten again when talking about PG's. I don't know the reason why but its noticeable.

Hornecek also mentioned the fact that every team isn't meant to be a 3 pt shooting team, and hinted he wanted to build a system around the personnel. I am thinking that means more 3's but also better (closer) mid Range shots.

Funny how he looked up to Isiah and never mention stockton. Stockton avg 15 assist in a 82 game season, do you know how hard that is to do in one game..smh
