Actually I think this is a good analogy for Ron.  He's a very athletic 
scorer, who reminds me a lot of a young Ron Harper.  I think Harper took it 
to the hole better than Ron before the torn ACL, though, and I don't see 
Mercer developing into a point guard, with or without a triangle offense, 
but you never know.

Now this is just unreasonable.  I hope Ron stays, but if he demands so much 
that you start losing other young talent, then he's got to go.  The C's are 
not a cheap team anymore.  They've inked Walker to the max.  They've paid V 
good money.  They've got Pierce to pay soon.  How many teams have three 
really highly paid players?  If Mercer wants to be in that category, you 
have to say that Pierce is too.
