I couldn't agree more. Mills is a better player than Williams...period.
Mills can hit the outside shot, play defense, and is a better rebounder.
Edney is a decent back-up though I have to admit I hate small point guards.
Just one of the little quirks that makes me so lovable.

And this is why I believe they'll just release Ellison. Nobody could
possibly want this guy and Pitino doesn't want his attitude anywhere near
the team. Time to swallow a few million.

I still don't like Knight but Mills is definitely a good pick-up.
