I would take Battie or Mercer if we don't get Duncan (based on their play
to date).  Mercer could be a good 2, but could also fit the 3 spot, which
means we must move Walker,  Williams or Fox.   I'd stay away from Koul,
Pollard neutralized him earlier in the season, & Battie is definitely more
athletic.  We don't need another Greg Kite, Acie Earl, Hamilton, Montross
type in the pivot.  Lets build with a quick athletic team.
