Jefferson

["Gene Kirkpatrick" <GKIR@tjc.tyler.cc.tx.us>]

Josh, et al,  I think we've accepted that Jefferson is going to be
taken between 13 and 18, give or take, and so he's not quite up to our
first picks and won't be available at 21.

Jefferson's one I think will be great.  I was more impressed with him
in the tournament than anyone else.  He kept Arizona in the game with
Duke, for instance, with his outside shot.  And, tho' I didn't see it,
he evidently shut Richardson of MSU down in the semis.  I would be
very happy to select him early; his type athleticism coupled with
dynamic defense would certainly help us.  The all around abilities of
Joe Johnson may be preferred, but may not be available at #10. 
Jefferson, in my mind, is better than Desmond Mason from last year. 
Mason was my athletic 2/3 pick from last year's crop.

So, let's talk about this guy.  Do we expect him to be Bernard King
before we show interest?  His only "weakness" is that he didn't
average 18 or so points last year.  To say he lacks ball skills
doesn't deter me at all.  So, DJ was slow and Kevin was skinny.  Gene
