<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">One of Thomas' first moves was to activate Sweetney, the rookie out of Georgetown who was the ninth pick in the draft. In nine games, he's averaging 1.3 points and didn't play in eight others while active. "Quite frankly, I don't think we're that good that we can have the (ninth) pick in the draft on (the injured list)," Thomas said. "We can get an opportunity to see him and also have some flexibility with our roster so we can keep trying to improve this team. ...We don't like where we are." Thomas had a less-than-stellar evaluation of Lampe, who has yet to see action this season. The 6-foot-11 forward is on the injured list with shin splints. "This is a guy who needs to work his tail off to get to where I think he needs to be," Thomas said. "I let him know that if he thinks he's going to get where he thinks he needs to be working the way he's working, that's not going to happen. I need to see a better work ethic from him. ...I think he's a guy that should live in a gym for a long time." </div> I like this...he is taking charge.
