Re: 2002 Draft Bargains and Busts

[Ellie Cutler <ellie@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

thanks for all the info.  How can one call Kedrick and Forte busts when 
they were young kids who landed on a good team with no immediate playing 
room? If they had gone to Memphis or Chicago they may have looked pretty 
different.  Ditto for Rodney White and Vlad Rad.  Anyway, no reason to 
judge them at this point.  Now if they were from the 1998 or maybe even '99 
drafts...

btw, noticed that Rashard Griffith (Rasheed Wallace's twin tower) has been 
in Italy for awhile putting up good rebounding and shotblocking numbers 
(well then so does Dino Radja in that league...).  He's a good 7 footer 
with experience.
