Caron Butler: Flip Saunders is an "Offensive Genius"

NBA FanHouse:
"He's great. He's an offensive genius. He's a great coach to play for and I love him for numerous reasons but the one that really stuck out was him coming in the summer and reaching out to me. I've never had a coach do that. You know, you get the phone calls saying, "welcome to our team, great having you, look forward to coaching you," but he actually was a guy that came out with me on numerous occasions and told me expectations that he placed upon me and what he expected and I look forward to the challenge."

It's good that Flip Saunders reached out to the Wizards' players to form bonds with them unlike when he first took the reins of the Pistons.

The operating phrase is "offensive genius," though. Saunders' offenses with the Pistons were certainly efficient--until the Eastern Conference Finals in 3 straight years.

The Wizards definitely have a lot of offensive talent, but Saunders has said he wants them to defend, which is good. We'll see how well the Wizards do on that end of the court.
