Mark, 

About TJ Ford: I'm from Austin, so I've watched him
alot, live and on TV. The real deal, in ways that
Iverson will never be. Big hops, incredible court
intelligence, and an unselfishness that's
refreshing--more interested in an assist than scoring.


will be even better in the pros. i've never seen a
game where he wasn't the best player on the floor.
breaks defenses down like tiny archibald used to,
although he's not the natural scorer tiny was.

last year in the ncaa tournament, he dominated games
as a freshman, but the team was too young to make it
all the way. might be a different story this year.
take texas deep in the ncaa tourney and watch this
guy. he's the perfect celtic.

I saw Chris Wallace at the game last night.
  No....not the Celtics game.  The Kansas-Missouri
game.
  That makes three games in Lawrence for Wallace that
I know of this 
season.... Arizona, Texas, and Missouri.
  That begs the question just who has Wallace been
watching?

Tammo, you obviously like Hinrich. I've seen him play
several times and 
was
never really impressed, but I've learned my lesson. I
felt the same way
about Tinsley, but someone on the list-Cecil or
Gene?-was completely 
sold
and kept saying you have to watch Tinsley play to
appreciate him. They 
were
right, of course. So I'll trust your judgment on
Hinrich.

You're probably right that Hinrich was one of the
guys-maybe THE 
guy-Wallace
was watching. And seeing him against Texas was a good
chance to see two 
of
the top PG prospects go head-to-head. I know there are
questions about 
T.J.
Ford's size and shooting, but I also know he has been
a dominant 
college
player and a "true" point guard. How did he and
Hinrich do 
head-to-head?
What are your impressions of Ford? I haven't seen him much.
