Frank Vogel Quotes

I've always been a guy that if you can shoot 3s, you need to shoot 3s. It extends the defense, especially when you've got a guy that can play an undersize 5 role.

The 3-point line has changed the game so much. The day of the big man, unless you're extraordinary good, is not numbered, but certainly you gotta be a lot more versatile to play the game today. You gotta be able to really run up and down the court.

At Kentucky, that was my job - coming off screens, catch and shoot, spacing the floor - no hesitations. Just go right into my shot - don't focus on the defender.

I definitely want to play for a school that throws the ball in the post.

I've always gotten credit for being a big man who doesn't want to shoot threes. Throughout my entire basketball career prior to coming to the NBA, I was praised for doing that.

Just seeing the progression, the evolution of the NBA game, I feel like you have a lot of big men shooting 3s.

Kyle Korver - got to treat him like J.J. Redick and not let him get good looks.

To be honest, I'm looking at today's game, and I put myself in that position and how I would benefit from the faster basketball, more threes, catch-and-go opportunities, attacking the paint with more space, that's what kind of gets me juiced up and riled up when I watch today's game.

I think everyone is just expanding, with the centers shooting 3s. I think that just opens the floor up a lot more. A lot more shots are going up, a lot more freedom of movement. It makes it more of an exciting game.

Marc Gasol, he's more of a true center. There are guys who play that traditional center role, but the game is also played differently now.

The league has changed in so many ways. There are no point guards anymore, there are no centers anymore; it's all positionless basketball.

Any guard would love playing with a great big man, one who rebounds, blocks shots, and scores.

At Golden State, it was basically a guard-oriented offense and it wasn't either around me or in my direction.

I'm a very good 15- to 18-foot shooter.

Obviously, I love Steph Curry. I think he's dope and a really cool player to watch.

When you have a dominant big man, that changes the aspects of the game.

Coming out of college that's all people kept saying was I couldn't shoot. I shot probably 30-something percent from 3 so they were pretty much on top of that.

I know what I bring to the table: my ability to shoot the ball, defend multiple positions, play multiple positions, two through the four.

I'm a guy who can score the ball and shoot the ball.

I am one of the last true centers in the NBA, and it's a title that I enjoy to hold.

At the end of the day I'm a basketball player. I'm going to try and shoot more threes than mid-range or long twos or whatever. But if someone gives you a shot, you're a basketball player, you got to make reads and play.

I am not as dangerous as I used to be. I am not as effective in the penalty area any more. That is something I have lost and something I have to get back. I used to score better goals, great goals. But something strange has happened.

There's so many different styles to it. I use my athletic ability to create shots for open people, I run the floor, then also space the floor as well. That's what I try to do.

John Starks is one of my favorite players.

Bogut - I wouldn't be the defender I am without Bogut. He taught me a ton. Angles. How to guard the post. You name it, he taught me a ton.
