I'd agree with his selection. Appears to be a good third scorer. Not as
explosive as Courtney Alexander would have been, but not as chemically
inept either...

Are we willing to give him the 2-3 years for him to do it or are we in a
situation where we have to make the big jump NOW?

I actually got to see a tape of him - I know why you're so high on him,
Ray. Wow, he really has all the fundamentals that we've lacked in our
point guards for sometime now. Would make a very nice pick.

Other than questioning whether or not we can wait on Zack - give me your
draft and I'll think we've done real well. Two of the few things that
would make me happier would be is if a top talent like Paul Pierce was
fell through to us OR if we won a top 3 pick, though knowing our luck as
someone said yesterday, we'll be losing our Denver pick this year!
