RE: But We Have To Give Credit To Chris Wallace For One Thing

[Kai_Brunnen_G@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Flashy run and gun is what we want with an extra dollop of defense.

Ridnour is diffderent from Forte & Johnson & Cook.
He's not a drifter like the first two. He's hardnosed, 
popssessed of a high basketball IQ, and unlike
Cook, can shoot, especially three-pointers - so he should fit in with
O'Brien's needs.
