I think Derek Anderson is VERY good.  He is the class of that team and it
was a real shame that he got injured.  I think that's the only thing
holding him back from being a lottery pick.  I think there is so much hype
around Mercer that Anderson doesn't get his fair share of the attention.
In my opinion he is much better than Mercer.  His shooting is a lot
better, especially from the outside.  He really takes control of the team
when he is on the floor.  Mercer is overrated and I would be disappointed
if the Celts select him so high.  Just my opinion, but I followed Kentucky
basketball quite a bit this year.
