Re: Criticism of Piercey

Warwick,

I don't doubt he's a fine player, but everyone has weaknesses.  What I 
read in the reports (remember I'm not basing this on what I have seen 
first hand) is that Pierce's are defense and ball handling.  I'd love to 
hear from someone else who watched him play that can give a better 
description of his game.  Offensively, all the reports say he is 
outstanding.
