Re[2]: Walker on ESPN

     The last I heard on Ronnie Fields was that he was playing in the CBA 
     perhaps for the Rockford Lightning (?) . He has had repeated character 
     issues which could be a concern for the team. He was impressive while 
     at Farragut but, I would not take the chance. But if we were to roll 
     the dice on him, perhaps we should bring back Thomas Hamilton and give 
     Rashard Griffith a chance, and any other Chicago area players who had 
     not panned out.

What is the story on Fields ?  He was highly rated but I don't think he was 
even drafted and played in the CBA.  Is he worth taking a look at for a 
roster filler at guard and possibly end up with a Voshon Lenard after a 
couple of years ?  I think he is 6'5" ?
