Here’s Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown discussing what it will take to turn around his new club on defense.

(Via Kings Herald):

“The biggest thing is the competitive spirit. I don’t care what system you put out there. If you compete, if you bring your hard hat, and you’re passionate about it, if you do that, you’re gonna at least have a chance to be an average defensive team. Now you buy into what the system is about and understand that it’s five guys guarding the basketball, not just one guy guarding the basketball, but five guys guarding the ball. Now you buy into that and trust that your teammates are all into it, now you have a pretty good defensive team.”
