"Being a leader is very, very hard for this reason: you have to be the same guy virtually every single day. When things are not going well for the team, when things aren't going well for you, when there's a heap of criticism upon you. So leading is tough. It's hard, but he's up for the challenge."
--Lawrence Frank, New York Nets head coach, on Devin Harris, 25, who averaged 15.4 points and 6.5 assists in 25 games with the Nets. He was traded from the Dallas Mavericks for Jason Kidd, all-star and Olympic gold medal winner.
"He is definitely capable and he's ready for it. You can just tell from his approach."
--Vince Carter, New York Nets, Harris' teammate.
