      Previewing the best and worst of the 1999-00 NBA season

      The countdown has begun for the tip-off of the 1999-2000 NBA season, which 
      means any number of things. <snips>
             
            
      Worst sixth man: Calbert Cheaney, Boston. Cheaney was supposed to be a 
      10-year NBA starter with defensive acumen, shooting range and ballhandling 
      skills. After all, he was a great player for Bobby Knight at Indiana. Then 
      again, with the exception of Isiah Thomas (who was only there two years), 
      name another four-year player besides Quinn Buckner who played up to his 
      billing in the NBA? At least they all do get good jobs after graduation.
