 Potapenko has inside skills, can hit the short jumper, and can guard most
 big men one on one.  If we don't have that, what good is a great point
 guard? >>

I was particularly impressed with the way VP kept guys like Mourning, Ewing, 
Smits, etc. away from the hoop.  How many centers can do that with Mourning?  
It would have been interesting to see him vs. Shaq.  His NBA experience had 
been limited prior to this year as he was Ilgauskas' backup so he's only 
going to get better.  He may be the perfect fit for us since we have enough 
other players who need the ball.  Look at the gamble the Knicks took at 15 in 
trying to get a big man.  VP would make French Fries out of Weis.

I would love to have Andre Miller and maybe there is a trade or combination 
of trades that can get him but I wouldn't trade VP for Andre Miller & 
DeClercq.
