KR: We learned last year that you work out in the offseason with Corey Brewer. What’s something that we might not know about Corey besides that he has a pet goat?
KM: You know, Corey’s a big family guy. A big family guy. That’s what I like about Corey. When I first met him, he was just a young guy, but I’ve seen him grow up over the years.
KR: You see some of the younger players, some of the rookies coming in and obviously you’re a veteran in this league. Do you see yourself being a mentor to some of these young players?
KM: Yeah, I have to be. My position on the team and what I’ve been through in my career. I look at what I’ve accomplished and what I’ve been through team-wise, I have to be that guy. I can’t shortcut too many things because I know I’m like a big brother to them and they’ll be watching.
KR: Is it pretty unique to play for a coach who actually signed you in Flip Saunders?
KM: Yeah it is. Flip is going to bring a lot of great winning attributes to our team and I think that’s the most important part.
