Re: Jacque Vaughn?

["David Gamble" <ope@pemberton.magnolia.net>]

Vaughn would be a good pick for the C's.  He could come in and backup
Wesley and eventually be a starting PG.  He's a GREAT leader, has good
court vision, plays good D, distributes...  Vaughn is 37% from the 3 point
line this year, not a sharp shooter, but he'll knock it down when he's
open.  Also, he's a winner.  He's helped keep the Jayhawks on top since he
came back.
