Q&A With Kerry Kittles http://www.nba.com/clippers/news/kittles_qa_040804.html <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Q: You've mentioned that you will be spending this offseason and preseason getting to know your new teammates. How familiar are you with the city of Los Angeles? "I'm pretty familiar with Los Angeles. I spent some time here while rehabbing my knee a couple years back, and familiarized myself with the LA area as I had a lot of down time. So I know a bit about the town." What do you think will be your biggest assets to this team? "I think my biggest assets are my speed, quickness and shooting ability. I excel in the open court---that's been my game---as well as spreading the defense with my 3pt shooting. Now being with these young guys, my leadership skills will also be something that I'll have to bring to this team. I'm just looking forward to helping this team in every area that I can." After playing alongside a superstar point guard in Jason Kidd, do you think you'll be able to help the Clippers' 2004 Draft pick Shaun Livingston learn the NBA game? "Definitely. I'll be able to give him some pointers and help him on the approach to the game, how to prepare himself as well as how to get better in different areas." What are your thoughts about playing in the Western Conference next season? "Its going to be fun. Obviously in the Western Conference you score more points, which is always good for a guy like me. I love to score points. Its a fast paced conference [which] suits my game." </div>
