	Just off the top of my head, we could have drafted Eddie Jones
instead of Eric Montross.  We could also have taken Michael Finley instead
of Eric Williams.  Nick Van Exel was taken in the secound round so we
could have drafted him as well.  Andrew DeClerq of Golden State was
drafted right after we chose Junior Burrough.  Going a bit further back,
we could have drafted Tim Hardaway and Shawn Kemp istead of I forget who
(Michael Smith and Brian Shaw????).  Who else am I missing?
