Exactly, man.  You're definitely right...it's not the right time(because
there's no sure pick center)  to get our "big man" in this draft.  I would
be more agreeable to drafting Crawford(if he's really that good a pg),
courtney alexander(big time scorer but also a big time ball hog...hmmmm does
the name mercer ring the bell???? yikes), Mo Peterson, or even Donell Harvey
(if we want a Grant Long-hardworker type of a banger)!

I really hope Pitino won't mess up this pick...but who knows what he really
wants...he's a bungling gambler..that's what he is!
