RE: Results of athletic testing at Chicago camp

[Kai_Brunnen_G@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

If this was Track & Field, I'd say Bremer's your man, but it's basketball and 
weakling slowpoke Jared Jeffries will do well in the NBA. Hell,
I bet Moiso would have aced a lot of these tests, but if you're a dog,
and you lack desire, you're a dog. 

One thing that I do get out of these results is the comparison between Williams and Isiah 
Thomas.  Both with great quickness and agility. I'd deal Walker pronto for Jay Williams 
soon to be just J. The great ones have short monikers....
