The question is still "Can Pot, Toine and Jerome play together?".  We were 
asking the same thing about Battie last year.  It was decided that they 
couldn't and Battie struggled.  Many people think partly becuase he was 
forced to play so much center.  I really have no idea which one of Battie, 
Moiso or Walker is best equipped to defend small forwards, but I think 
giving that assignment to one of the shotblockers would tend to neutralize 
that part of their game.  So much hinges on Antoine's conditioning and 
attitude.  If he's in shape and motivated you could just about pick any two 
of our forwards/centers to play along side of him, and it would work out 
(OK, not McCarty and Williams).
