good points, Mark

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

The key point: we haven't seen him play (Gasol).  He could be the man,
altho' I have an aversion to 7' stringbeans.  Another difference
betwee Shaq, Duncan and the high-school phenoms--brains.  College
helps to show whether a kid has any or not and it even helps them
develop a few.  

I would like the chance at Brown (who I think will be the Wiz' pick)
or Curry--even Griffin.  Other than those, I think we're in quicksand.
 My hope for now:  Johnson (the Arkansas wonderboy) and Zack Randolph.
 I feel confident one great prospect will drop to us; maybe two?  Even
at 22, we could get a Wallace or Arenas and those guys could have the
stuff.  (This in no way changes my opinion on Tinsley; when he steps
on the court, the game belongs to him.  I still think he could whip
this group into shape and fast).

Anticipation.   Gene
