Playoff Experience Is Vastly Overrated

["Way Of The Ray" <wayray@ix.netcom.com>]

Talent is preferable. How much playoff experience
did Kevin McHale need? Tim Duncan? Larry?
Magic? Wilt? Russell?

Great players simply don't need a lot of playoff
experience to contend for titles. And if you don't
have great players, all the playoff experience in the
world isn't going to bring you any closer to a
championship.

Concentrate on getting the great players and then worry about
the playoffs.

I'd rather see the Celtics end up with the 10th pick than the 14th,
as packaging 10 and 11 may get them high enough in the draft to
take a Griffen or Randolph or Prince or Brown, etc. - players that can
have an impact....
