RE: Jerome Williams

One Jerome for another Jerome. You'd see something
like Moiso and one of the C's small forwards for
Williams. Maybe, the Utah draft choice thrown in.

They play better "D" when Pitino opts away from
pressing and trapping. I was thinking that Pitino
trying to fit his players into his system, rather
than other way around, has been his biggest 
flaw.
