“His expectations, what he expects out of his point guards,” Canaan said. “He gives his point guards a lot of responsibility. We have to understand that. We have to take that and take control of everything that’s going on.”

Kokoskov said before the season the point guards are an extension of him on the floor. He’s stayed true to that during the regular season, which has led to a heavy burden on those playing that position.

“He’s on us the most,” Canaan continued.
