Re: another need to address

[Josh Ozersky <josh_ozersky@yahoo.com>]

I agree with your assesment of Minor, who is a truly weird NBA talent
in that all he has is an in-between game.  But Dana is a very
dangerous scorer who can drive and pass, and has done so very well for
us as the main offensive player on the bomb squad.  Walter will
certainly never be a great rebounder.  And one Bruce Bowen on any team
is certainly not enough.  What we need are more guys like Walter and
Bruce, not less.  Especially if the press unit is going to be
murderous, which it will certainly need to be if the starters aren't
pressing.  (Although I think you will see every Celtic but Kenny and
VP press at some point or other.)
