Because we don't have the luxury of waiting 2-4 years for a rookie to
develop. Look at Billups, he couldn't even dribble. We made some bad picks,
JJ may be different, he sure didn't show it here. Rookies have to adapt to a
team not the reverse. I hope JJ finds the arena he's looking for. All we're
creating in College is Prima Dona's.

We don't need rookies. We need starters and back ups. Once we get a solid 7,
we can entertain rookies. I like winning now, not in 2005.
