RE: Pressing vs Half-Court

[John Lyell <Jlyell@concentric.net>]

I am on William's side.  Mccarty runs around to much is out of position 
giving up points & is not a good outside shooter.  Knight has been a roller 
coaster ride also.  You can't win with your big men launching 3's with no 
low post ability.  Move Knight, Billups, McCarty & draft picks for Penny & 
Laettner  two great passers !
