Athleticism, size, potential, and scoring ability.......(in other words,
upside made Billups a #3 pick.....if we didn't take him he would have
gone at 4 or 5).

Pitino's problems with Billups were not with his skills, which Rick knew
needed work.  Billups' problem was attitude, not wanting to do what 
Pitino told him. Billups is starting to be more cooperative and
receptive to criticism, hence, more playing time.
