 Hey, I didn't say Ostertag was a lottery pick!  I said I liked him.  He plays hard,
is big and knows what he is doing.  he is not a bad shot blocker (nice one last night 
in crunch time). He has done a good job in the playoffs against 
the likes of Shaq and Hakeem and playing well against Chicago.  He plays well and 
gets knocked as "overachieving".  I would prefer 10 guys who overachieve than
a buch who underachieve.

I don't think Williams is anywhere near a top 4 pick.  He is a medium size forward 
with an inside game.  And fit in with the Cs well last year by playing practically
no defense.  Still see him as a middle to late 1st rounder.  Where do you
see Williams fitting in?
