Olowokandi will be one of the better centers in the NBA; just a
step below Duncan; Taylor with the right coach has a chance to make a 
couple of All-Star teams - excellent potential; Rogers can score
and play both forward positions; Vaught when he's healthy can
rebound and defend; Wright's limited offensively, but can really
rebound - right now he's a middle class Jayson Williams with potential
to develop; you forgot the mighty Stojko Vrankovich; and there's the
guy they drafted from Baylor who Il Duce had in for a workout and
impressed him - Brian Skinner: Good shotblocker and rebounder.  In
the last two years, Pitino has had three Clippers in for pre-draft
workouts: Taylor, Olowokandi, and Skinner.  Keep those three in mind.

>Hey Witchy -- let's have some more detail. Who would you take for 
Toine? Here's who I see as likely candidates at the 4 & 5 (IMO, doesn't 
make sense to pursue anybody else because we're pretty set at G & SF).
>
>Rodney Rogers - 6'7, 255 - you think AW is undersized for the 4? last 
year scored 15 ppg & grabbed 5.6 boards in 30+ mpg; shot 45% from field 
and is a negligible shot blocker. Makes about $2 mil a year but is a FA 
in '99.
>
>Lorenzen Wright - 6'11, 240 - I like him, but he's also a FA next year. 
9 points, almost 9 boards & 1.2 blocks in nearly 30 mpg. 
>Maurice Taylor - 6'9, 250 - same size as AW - 2 yrs left on contract, 
after which he'll look to cash in. 11.5 points, only 4 boards in ca. 20 
MPG. 47% fg. Also not much of a shot blocker.
>
>Keith Floss, I mean Closs - the man is 7'3 and weighs 212 pounds. He 
isn't a ballplayer, he's a poster child for anorexia. Grabbed less than 
3 boards a game, but did block 1.3 shots in about 12 mpg, so he could be 
a throw in (although he don't come cheap at ca. $2 mil a year through 
2002).
>
>There's also Loy Vaught, but he's a FA this year and he missed most of 
last year because of back problems, which is never a good sign. It's too 
bad because I have always liked him.
>
>The problem with any of these guys is, the two most promising ones 
(Wright & Taylor) are free agents in 1 and 2 years, respectively, so 
you'd find yourself in the same pay him/trade him quandary we're now in 
with Antoine. But I'd like to hear your thoughts.
