Jeff Dowtin Rumors

• Dowtin on the difficulties of being a two-way player, frequently being held out of games they are able and eager to participate in: "Definitely was a challenge for me this year, a tough, tough process. I think I handled it to the best of my ability, you know, just always being ready whenever the time has come. Obviously you want to play every game and I was healthy this whole year, so that was big for me, just staying healthy, staying in shape, staying conditioned and being ready whenever my name [was] called. Like I said, obviously I wanted to play every game. I was able to play every game. But, you know, it was a challenge. I was ready for the challenge. I was able to stay ready for multiple opportunities and I'm thankful for that."

Philly Voice

• Dowtin on where he believes he has improved as a player since the team held its training camp in The Bahamas at the beginning of October: "I think all aspects of my game, you can kind of see [improvement], from being a leader, being a point guard, being able to find guys, being able to move the ball, being able to play in transition, being able to knock down open threes, catch-and-shoot threes, threes off the dribble, being able to get to the paint, finish around the rim, being a vocal in the defensive end. Just everything, all-around aspects of my game I think have improved. I think I've shown that a lot throughout this year."
