Coach Davey on Steve"I haven't had many guys work harder to continue to improve than Steve. He has made a reasonable improvement on defense, but has made a tremendous improvement in his offensive skills. He has spent a great deal of time in developing his game and it is going to pay dividends for him. He gives us more offensive punch, and that is critical for us."
