Hunter's D

["Enrile, Roy" <renrile@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, I bet Hunter would have been excellent even in the Harter
defense eventually.  I was watching closely how he would guard a
tall/tricky/mobile PF like Kukoc.  His lateral movement, and desire
closing out on jumpshots was surprisingly, a lot better than Walter or
EW.  Didn't even need to handcheck to stay with guys driving on him.

If he keeps playing with this intensity, sure, I can see him being a
long term answer against a Zach Randolph, or even a Kenyon type.  Trees
like Jermaine/Rasheed be more difficult for him.  He's more of a monster
than other short widebodies (Corliss Williamson, Fortson) because of his
explosive leaping, and quickness.

With our 3 rooks, Danny proved he has an excellent eye for kids with
legit NBA physical tools and raw talent.  I think he and BrainDoc also
did well judging their temperments(sorry Kestas :) ).  All 3 look like
hard workers, yet not too cocky like Forte/Toine.  I'm fairly confident
now that the C's can find steals with the next 3 draft picks.

Congrats, Brandon!  Keep up the good work!
