Players

["Gene Kirkpatrick" <gkir@tjc.tyler.cc.tx.us>]

A few ideas on players:  Bill C., I would like an update on D. Jones. 
Last week you were not impressed.  Has he shown that he could be a
backup point?  I only saw the game v. Pacers.

Idea for draft swapo:  Mercer for a point or pf and the number 7 or 8
player in the draft.  Take Quincy Jones and have a tremendous 2/3 who
can fill it up--a sixth man who could hit 20 when needed.  I guess I
should suggest trade names, but hey, I'm an amateur.

Second round idea:  North Carolina's 6'9" forward, the guy from
Germany--Ademola Okaliga.  He's a complete
ballplayer, a good rebounder and has a good outside shot.  Look at
what Harpring has done with the Magic.   O is a winner and could play
the 3 or 4 spot off the bench.

On Kenny:  I still think he could be a capable point.  He would need
a new attitude and a better backup than we have.  Based on the idea
that we won't be able to trade him.

 P.S.  I've been thinking that the league's image is more tarnished
by early entry players and their attitudes than those who finished
college.  Not an original idea.
