I've no problem with Johnson and Forte.  We were pretty weak at the 2 spot,
which I think was our greatest need from a position standpoint.  Now it's
looking pretty strong.

A quote of Kedrick Brown says that he needs to work on his perimeter shot.
He says he's more of a slasher at this point.

Well, during the draft Wallace mentioned Randy Brown in a way that hints
that Brown's role this season would be similar to last season.  So Herren
may be out, anyways, with Anderson, Randy Brown, Palacio and Walker playing
point.  I'm glad the C's took Forte at 21.  Maybe next year's draft will
have a better PG pool.

Sesar's numbers took quite a tumble his past season.  I'm curious as to
whether it was due to injury or what.  I think Stith and Carr are likely
to be let go.  I hope the C's resign Griffin for the minimum, since he
at least proved himself two seasons ago when he was healthy.
