	It is easy to see why O'Brien likes him so much. Defensive effort is 
in the heart and Eric has the respect of his teammates and the nerve to 
rally them to the intensity level necessary.
	Would the emergence of Walter McCarty and the return of Kedrick  Brown 
make him expendable? I'd love to see a front line of Baker, Walker and 
Fortson.
	With only having seen him twice, Sundov, playing like a telephone 
pole, just does not seem like a player I'd want on the floor, except in 
certain situations, to pull the center away from the basket, but he may 
need 5-10 shots a game to get any rhythm. He's perhaps a good 11th or 
12th man. Wolkowyski and Bremer should be on the I.R., which leaves a 
need for another rotation player, as I've said, a banger/rebounder.
	Looking at the box score, I see that Tony Delk had another big 
offensive game. He started out badly, but after his  first 4-5 misses, 
including two, early, bricked free throws, he must not have missed 
again. He hit shots from all over the  court. Drives, mid-range and 
threes, all off the flow.
	The assist total is a big  key, no doubt, without a point guard 
running the offense, everyone has to continue to move the ball. Antoine 
has been exemplary, while if the players can now expect Pierce to play 
with his head up, we'll be a lot tougher than we were, even last year.
	When the defense learns that they have to give Paul some room, to 
watch for his passing, it will make him even tougher to guard and 
obviously, it keeps everyone moving.
