That's a good point...

He'd be a good player to keep, but i'm not sure that he's a starter at the NBA
level.  He's a great guy to have as a 6th ot 7th man, and a guy to put on
special defensive assignments, but i don't think he's an everyday starter on
an indeal team.

I'm in full agreement here, and i think that Kato is the 2nd best center in
the draft behind Duncan.  Because of that, i think he will go fairly high in
the draft.   Maybe we could meve down to 9 or 10 and still get him, but i
wouldn't go any lower than that.
