Pepper is no good!!!

Hi, guys.  I've been watching a lot of ESPN here in Asia.  And they've
been showing the Australian 22 under team goin against the NCAA champ,
the Arizona Wildcats.  It's a three game series which the Australian won
due to immense height advantage.  Though the wildcats get to win a
game.  

Anyways, I got to see Benjamin Pepper play and he is sooooooo soft and
he really sucked big time.  He may be over 7 feet but he is really
skinny and gets bumped and tossed around alot and there was a time when
Miles Simon even dunked in his face!!!  Pepper couldn't even catch the
ball right; rebound against smaller players (AJ Brantley, Davison,
Harris, Simon and even Bibby!!! are some that kicked his ass during the
tournament); couldn't shoot well at point blank range; and embarassingly
get blocked by smaller centers and get dunked on by GUARDS!!!of the
opposing teams.  If the Celtics are really considering to take him in
then he would make Szabo or Hamer look like Hakeem or Pat Ewing!  It
really dissapointed me to see a draft pick get wasted.  Why didn't we
just get the best talent available instead of having to fill a need but
unsure about the skill and talents of the player?  I see this as a bad
move by whoever's in charge (wallace?) of choosing.  Willoughby, Seals,
Awojobi, and Freeman are better choices coz they have better talents and
credentials.  We should just consider getting or filling up the center
need thru free agency.  Don't you think?  

Well, I hope I get to supply some info about Pepper (unfortunately,
discouraging ones).  Comments and opinions would be very much
appreciated...thanks.
