---------Van Exel is putting up lots of points in Denver, but from what I 
have read, "Van Exel" and "chemistry" don't usually appear in the same 
sentence unless accompanied by "lack of," "bad," or "destruction of."

Can we use them to get 1 more key piece of the puzzle?

--------Don't we all wonder this.  Everything we read says that Forte and 
KBrown are doing just fine and should contribute in a year or so.  I liked 
Randy Brown last year - decent point, good defender.  Are we getting close to 
seeing him get some of the minutes now going to Milt?  And McLeod:  he hasn't 
played one minute.  Still injured?  Who knows.  And is there anyone on this 
roster about whom less is written than McLeod?  Even Blount (who was pretty 
sad in his brief appearance in Charlotte) gets more press.
