He sounds like a politician... just say the right things, don't step on anybody's toes...

Which, of course, is what I would do if I was in his position.

Interesting that he sounded certain Stephen Curry was the second best player.

Probably because he is a product of his coach. Capel raves about Steph and that whole family.
