Before he fell into the black hole that was known as the Denver Nuggets, he
had a couple of darn good years at Texas Tech.  I saw several of his games
on TV, and he just dominated the middle on offense and defense in Big 12
games.  However, whether he'll be a great pro remains to be seen.  I'm
hoping that he can do it on this level.  I originally hoped that the Cs
would have drafted him, but since they got him now it doesn't matter that
they didn't.
