Fred,  I definitely do not disagree with the Duncan choice, he is the only
dominant player in the draft &  I hope the leprechaun comes through. 
Although others may disagree I think Duncan can be a center in the NBA, he
is roughly the same size as Hakeem & a very smart player.  I was just
stating if we don't get him a good supporting cast he will take a physical
beating as Dino did before he was injured.
