Chris Gee's Duncan post

[Chris Littlefield <chrisl@mjr.com>]

I'm still a couple days behind on my posts so this may have been addressed.
However, Mr. Gee (post below) has a point.  Duncan will need to be
surrounded by some bombers to enhance his ability to work inside.  This is
why Van Horn has some appeal, because he presents a 6'10" outside threat
also capable of working inside.  Of the C's current roster thought to be
coming back next year, Fox and Wesley are the best outside shooters.
Walker seems to be doing better in that department but is, if I may say so,
far from being a legit outside threat.  Am I missing anyone?

The C's will at some point need a shooting guard with real range.  Having a
player with both size and range, such as Van Horn, would be good.

I posit this idea.  Odds are against the C's getting the #1 pick.  If we
end up 2nd or 3d and Van Horn is available, take him, then take Adonal
Foyle (or Battie) for your inside presence with the Dallas pick.
Inside/outside questions addressed, and size added.  If we get the #1 pick,
Van Horn will probably not be available at the Dallas pick.  Get a bomber
guard (either by trade or draft) with it.

Whatchu think?
