Oh, I absolutely think he's the right guy to develop a young team. Basketball is generally a young guys sport. He's a guy who can work with young and old. I think with Toronto they've had a deeper bench and it's led to guys rightfully being annoyed at not getting enough time. Again, this year excluded. I imagine it's like any business where there is limited time to make decisions and with guys like Malachi you have a very limited time to make an impression, and if you don't your reputation has been cemented. Obviously they'd devote most of their attention to a high draft pick, but otherwise, it's hard. He may struggle though, as ultimately Toronto had a full system from upper management to player facilities. If Houston has different setup or culture, it may not work. But I have no doubt Nurse can work with all types.
