We will be waiting longer than 3 years.  Don't expect anything special in
less than 4 or 5 .  If Foyle has the potential it makes sense, but from
what I have heard from scouts & people who have seen him he may not be
worth the risk.  Like someone else said, a 6'9" point can cause a lot of
matchup problems.   I believe the Celtics took a look at Foyle last week,
has anyone heard anything ?  Look at Garnett, & Marbury 2 years removed
from high school .
