Stan Van Gundy, via Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press:

"Who you’re trying to project is the best guy three years down the road. We know that there are guys that maybe better next year than the guy we end up picking. You’re projecting what you see three years down the road. That’s been our real focus, and that’s at any position."

That’s music to my ears.

I figured Van Gundy, a coach first, wouldn’t be patient. He’s the one who has to deal with this team every day.

But he has the job security to think long term. I’m very glad he is.
