<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">As training camp winds down, here are a few observations as we prepare for our regular-season showdown versus the Lakers on Wednesday, November 3: One of the biggest things I've noticed about the NBA level is simply how much longer the game is than a regulation college game, especially if there are a lot of fouls. If you're not playing throughout the game, it's really hard to stay loose. Also, the size and speed of every player on the court, especially the big men, is amazing. There are really no weak links in the NBA. Even on good college teams, there are always some guys who just aren't as good as the star players. In the NBA, everyone's very good and are all capable of scoring, so you've got to be aware of everything and everyone at all times. There are a lot of ups and downs getting used to the NBA style of play. It's natural to have some inconsistencies as you get into the flow of what the team is trying to accomplish. Some of the stuff we do offensively and defensively on the Jazz is a lot different than what I have done in the past. Even though it's different, I'm starting to feel more comfortable out there and I'm still learning a lot in practice.</div> Link I've been impressed by Humphries on and off the court so far. His article is worth reading and he seems to be working hard and fitting in well.
