I would not expect Duncan to make that much of a difference.  We need at
least 2, hopefully 3 productive players out of the draft or trades to fill
our holes at 2, 4, & 5.  I wish I had such confidence in Williams & Minor,
Williams has not improved this year and is not really suited for the 4
position IMO, which leaves us with too many 3's.  Minor is a 2 without an
outside shot, if he can improve this he could be helpful, if not he is a
liability, the defense will double team  in the paint on Duncan or whoever,
 until you earn their respect.
