Hi Paul:

If he gets to play alongside another big man, I'm pretty confident that
LaFrentz will average 55%FG as a rookie and put up very productive Brad
Daugherty-type numbers over the length of his career. IMO his transition
to the classic NBA center-forward position will go without a hitch. He's
the first player in a long time to remind me of another b-ball savvy,
super productive "tweener" from the midwest (Kevin McHale).

Of course, I thought Kentucky's Kenny "Sky" Walker was a "can't miss"
prospect back in 1986. I hope Antawn Jamison isn't another Kenny Walker.
I very much doubt it.


Okay, back to this World Cup thing.  Wake me up when the NBA finals are
over.
