I think everyone does but I'm starting to fear that Pitino is going to start 
Walker at the four and we are going to get beat up all the time just like we 
did with Atlanta. I don't like depending on Pervis as our backup center but 
if he could just hold out until Fortson gets back, we could make it. I hear 
that it is part of the master plan to play Walker at the four now to get him 
in shape but sometime soon you have to get your regular season rotation 
down....I don't understand the Conlan signing since he is a 3-4 tweener. I 
would put McCarty at the four with the quick pressing subs with a little time 
with Walker there also. We could get by with less power against the other 
teams backups, especially if we are pressing. I can't see where Conlan would 
play. Washington is gone. At this point, I would say it is Turner, since he 
hasn't played and Conlan would go on the IR along with Fortson and Minor. I 
prefer Turner over Dana but Turner has been hurt and has not melted into the 
team...
