I know that meant the world to her. Getting the game ball, that was awesome. How free agency went, and kind of this process leading up to the draft, she’s excited.”
“I was talking with her the other day, and I think she’s confident about the place that we’re at right now, and heading into this draft,” Holmes added. “I'm always happy to see her excited.
