     Well, I don't really recall ANY great groundswell of approval for this 
move.  If I recall rightly, it was a weak draft, and the consensus was that 
Moiso was a big gamble - an athletic 6'11.  He pays off?  Great!  He doesn't? 
 Well, low pick in a weak draft.  Guys that big are often worth a gamble IF 
there is nothing else to try.  I don't claim to remember the picks after him, 
sowill ask, innocently, who waspicked after him whohas paid off?  In a way, 
maybe Moiso can live on as a symbol of the Pitino era:  like the Ricktator 
himself, Moiso seemed like a reasonable pick at the time, but it just didn't 
work out.
