Yes, it's camp. We get that. But it's always good to hear about a guy coming into a season more ready than ever to elevate his game.
Doug Collins has showered Andre Iguodala with praise after just a couple of days of practice, calling his play "fantastic."
"I love his voice," Collins said of Dre. "The things he's saying to his teammates. The leading and teaching he's doing with the younger guys; he and Jrue have a real good connection right now."

For his part, Dre says he feels great, noting that he's even impressed some of the younger teammates like Evan Turner who have never seen him play at his full capabilities because he was banged up all of last season.
"I told Ev a lot, 'you haven't really seen me play,'" Dre told reporters. "Some of the stuff I was doing, he's never seen. He thought it was like once in a blue moon."
Sounds intriguing. If Iguodala can elevate his game to a new level in conjunction with serious growth from Jrue, ET, and Thad, this could could be even more fun to watch than most of us hope.
