What Pitino is thinking about, I think, is the fact that you really can't
draft a center unless you have a number one pick.  Even then you often get
burned.  So he's looking at free agents, and I think Geiger is probably better
than we give him credit for.  I suspect Rick will try to move Travis or Dana
with the pick to free up salary cap room, and get a scoring three, and then
use the money for Geiger, and somebody else.  My feeling is, with the kind of
offense we should have next year (assuming we get a scoring three), we don't
really need a scoring center, just a shot blocker.  So I will go along with
Warwick on this one:  get Ratliff.  But is he strong enough to bang with the
big boys?  that may be the key thing.
