I just love watching the guy play. People don’t understand how athletic he is. He obviously has great skills. He shoots the ball well from the outside and he’s not afraid to get to the dirty areas. And he’s also very athletic, really fast, really quick. He can run the floor and go back and play defence if he has to. He can even take faceoffs. He’s just a multi-talented kid, and a smart, smart player.” http://www.ilindoor.com/2011/05/25/wilc-canadas-offence-getting-it-done/
