Chris Paul is just 21 years old, but his minutes will be closely watched as if he is a veteran.

"During training camp, we'll be watching closely his minutes in practice," Bower said. "He'll need some time quickly to decompress. But honestly, being tired, I don't think, is anything he'll succumb to.

"He's a bright young man who understands his body, who has incredible energy," Bower said. "His approach to everything is he loves to play."
