Quote:
But Denver Nuggets coach Jeff Bzdelik figured last week it was time for Hilario, a rookie from Brazil who speaks little English, to be on his own for a bit. Bzdelik sent Santos, Hilario's translator, home after two games of a four-game preseason trip.
So what happened?
"Just look at his statistics," Santos said.
After shooting 9-for-15 in the first two games of the trip, the 6-foot-11 center shot 3-for-11 in the two games without Santos. In the final game of the trip, he fouled out in 23 minutes.
