May was being a smart ass  " He is a jump shot away from being a great 
player"  was Pitino's comment  when he signed Andrew.

DeClerq is a solid player.  Admittedly, he's kind of a raw talent and does 
not have great skills.  He always hustles, however, and is improving all 
the time IMO.  His numbers may not be great, but he works real hard and he 
definitely contributes to this team.  He's certainly one of my favorite 
players.  As for Greg Minor, he's been playing very well of late.  Both 
these guys have been starting for the Celtics on a regular basis.  If they 
were truly such borderline players, why would Coach Pitino be giving them 
as many minutes as he does?
