I have to disagree. I don't see him giving us anything V or Battie do not.
Olowokandi has hands as bad as V's and literally brings no low post moves.
I'll stay with my position he is the Clippers second coming of Benoit
Benjamin, a major disappointment for such a high draft pick that would not
add value to the Celtics.

Whether the Kandi man is the answer or not is debatable.  But the issue of
whether he is a marked upgrade over our present constitution of Centers, is
not, IMHO.
