Hi Fred,

=46irst, as the inventor of duncanitis i am pro duncan.  I was not
slighting him.  I was stating an observation i made from plenty of
posts in various newsgroups.  I did not see the wake/stanford game but
i did see van horn and mercer.  The feeling was if he is so great why
didn't he carry his team? I don't feel this way which is why i said
all three suffered from intense defensive coverage.

Secondly, I know Bibby played point.  What i was wondering was whether
simon would have a shot at an nba point 'cause he has such good ball
handling skills, can easily split the defense and knows how to shoot.
