college point guards

[Steve and Michelle Ouellette <redsox@westelcom.com>]

Josh, I'm not sure what it is you don't see about Jason Williams. I am
the premier Duke hater/basher in the Northeast, but Williams was the
best player (Sorry Mr. Battier) in college basketball last year.

Agreed that we can't possibly get him -- unless ML Carr takes over the
helm again -- but he looks like the next Stephon Marbury to me, which
isn't too bad.

I also heartily disagree on Troy Bell. If he were on the Celtics roster
right now, he'd be the starting point guard.
