DQ

The only problem I have with the DQ comparisons I see is that he gives all
he has.  His work ethic is great, and you can't say that about the Brad
Lohaus's of the world (BTW where is he playing?)

I think DQ will only improve, and can be a very good backup center.  We
should keep him for that reason.  Last night he shot a 7 foot jumpshot from
the baseline, and that is the first jumpshot I have ever seen him take.  If
he could develop that shot, he is quick enough, and jumps well enough, to
get around a lot of centers in the NBA when they step out to challenge it.

I hope RP continues to start him for the rest of the season to allow for
more development.  Travis is a bust, and IMHO, HE is the Lohaus, not DQ.
