  I disagree.  I think he's a great long-term solution, if he can stay 
healthy.  Yes, the last 3 weeks he's been awful.  Long-term, he'll be more 
like he was at the end of last season.  I don't think it's correct to 
conclude that his skills are suddenly permanently gone after he's had
10 months sitting around resting his knee, then he's thrown back into
Pitino-ball with hardly any conditioning.  That would give anyone trouble.

  I predict he'll be back to his old wonderful self within a month.
Yes, he'll still be somewhat of a defensive liability, but not so bad 
that his help to the offense won't more than make up for it.
