On his role and what fans should expect from him:

Veteran leadership. Locker room guy. You know that's important. They're talking about coming off the bench and doing whatever ... you know, whatever it takes to help the team win, that's how I feel about it.

I'm not the type of guy that would say, 'Hey, Kaman needs to sit on the bench' ... even though, sitting behind Chris Kaman, that's a big deal to me because that's my son you know what I mean (laughs) ... I taught him everything he knows.
