Re: Antawn Jamison

["JLyell" <jlyell@concentric.net>]

Mercer will not be available with the Dallas pick unless we get a very
lucky bounce and end up picking 2 or 3 .  Jamison is a 3/4 very similar to
Walker, does not have the shooting or ball handling skills for a 2.  The
more Mike Bibby I see, the more I Iike him as the Dallas pick if he were to
enter.
