Re: Future Potential Draft Picks

["Jaime Castillo" <jaims@philonline.com.ph>]

Well, he is an impressive player but he is a 6-9 center good enough only in
college plays, who I think would be a bust if put into the NBA now.  If we
put him in the PF position he's too slow for NBA standards and is just one
dimensional...a shot blocker.  We need a shot blocker alright but we also
need an offensive threat at low post.  I just think if we are to put this
guy in the roster now he would just be another Roy Rogers.  He's too raw and
should consider stayin' a lil longer in school, maybe at that time he'd be
more honed and skilled enough to be an NBA player.
