RE: Washington Win
Some players like John Starks, David Wesley, Mario Elie, Chris Childs
picked up from the CBA have had successful NBA careers, and are better then
most of our bench & starters. The Clippers have a guy named Troy Hudson
that has looked decent and impressed Chris Ford. Anyone know anything
about Jones or Hudson ? Personally I am still waiting for this Popeye to
arrive. IMO a big mistake by RP, should have signed a veteran scorer/leader
not a question mark coming off an injury. With Bowen, Jones, McCarty,
Schintzius, Riley, Garnett, Ellison, we have to many zero dimensional
players that would be on few other NBA teams. I would put Minor in this
category but he has played well of late, 1/2 dimension.
