Andrei Kirilenko is excited to take rookie Gordon Hayward under his wing.

"He's gonna make the same way that I did it 10 years ago," said Kirilenko. "So, you know, I wish him good luck, and I'll try to help him as much as possible.

"He can shoot the ball well, which has never been my strong side. So, he kind of gets a little advantage (there)," the small forward from Russia joked. "But he needs to keeping working, needs to not be afraid of names in the NBA and other teams ? just keep playing basketball."
