I don't see Blount as a starter, either -- or, I should say, I 
wouldn't expect him, too. since I haven't since him play, and won't 
until the preseason.  It's just that, if he can contribute at all, 
instead of languishing on the bench, it'll be welcome.  Some of the 
last few big men that came through town have been disappointing (the 
Eric Rileys of the world, John Thomas, et al.).  I wonder if Moiso 
and Blount will be in the game together?  If Pitino mass substitutes 
again, will we see a "second unit" that has both in the post?  I 
guess Battie fits in there somewhere, but doesn't the 11th man on the 
roster get minutes?  Maybe Blount is that 11th man.
