>Minor showing playmaking instincts may be worthy of superlatives. He could
carve a niche for a small scorer like Dana or Dee. By taking over the
playmaking responsibilities and defending the opposing teams shooting guard,
Dana and Dee would cease to be defensive liabilities. Since we wouldn't
require another point guard on the floor to compensate for Dana and Dee's
passing inadequecies, we could have an effective(if unorthodox)
tandem(reminiscent of the energizer buddies last year). We could devide the
Roster in to subgroups that would enter at the same time(Eric and Antoine,
Billups and Mercer, Minor and Dee/Dana) giving us a better balanced team.

into a Camby/Garnett(or more realistically Carlos Rodgers) birch(tall and
skinny) forward in a few years. As a back up or starting PF he could be
really neat if he develops.
