You have obviously not seen Van Horn play very much, if at all.  For one
thing he is a really good three point shooter.  Another thing you say is
that he is not physichal enough, this is not really true.  It is his style
to not be physichal, but when banging people around is needed he can do it.
Sure the guy could be an NBA bust, but then again so can Mercer, Foyle,
Battie, Thomas, Billups, Tim Duncan, and every other player in the draft.
