Re: Brandon

Brandon isn't much of an upgrade over Anderson.  Certainly not worth any
picks under the high teens (Utah's? although they're one Malone blown knee
from lottoland) and no other players that actually help in games, IMO.

The quotes lately from Walker are certainly encouraging.  I'd up my
prediction if I had more confidence in Pitino recognizing matchups and
asking Walker to do different things against different teams, and Walker
being able to shift focus when teams play him differently.  In 3-4 years I
bet Walker could do it well, but not yet.  Admitting it is the first step,
but he still has to do learn to do it.

How long does it take to lose 17 pounds?  And I'm not talking about those
wacko high fat, low carb diets.  I figure it'll be at least 2 months
before Herron could be in peak form, 1 month before he's close to peak.
If he's serious and Pitino kills him in practice, on a sore ankle.

Anyway, just got my mini-dish, unfortunately won't be installed in time
for the opener, but at least I'll be a lot more sober for more of the
games this year...
