Re: Profile Of The Warrior's Todd Fuller

[Mister Ghost <mister_ghost@yahoo.com>]

He might be a slug, but he could be a Great slug (a little zoological
humor).  If this was Fuller's fifth or sixth year in the NBA, then I
would agree with your prognosis, but if you consider the fact
that he hasn't been given a lot of playing time; the unstableness of
the Warriors; the crowded Golden State frontcourt; I also believe he
was injured for a period of time - Those factors have retarded his
development, and it's therefore too early to write him off. You have
to give players time to develop.  Look at his teammate Donyell Marshall.
He was basically written off as a draft flop and stiff, but he
perservered and became a good player. I think if you have someone
who's 6-11 who can shoot and is a decent rebounder, then there should
be a place in the NBA 
for them.  As far as his perceived lack of speed goes, he's playing
center not point guard.
