Coach Henry mentioned finding the best fitting pieces to complete his roster,
“We wanted to put more size on the floor, and I think we were able to do that. When we evaluate guys, we’re looking for good fits for our system, which is a lot different than some of the systems these guys were playing in. I think we found some great fits for this team.”
