Under Lawrence Frank, rookie point guard Zoran Planinic has a new life. He is getting an opportunity to contribute to the team, and he's getting personal attention from the new coach. "I'm getting in games earlier and playing more minutes, so my life is basically eating and sleeping basketball, and sitting in the video room here at our practice facility. I'm in that room all the time, trying to pick out my mistakes in actual game situations."
