There is no way he could be classified as a stiff in any form or
fashion.  In fact, I would hope there is some way Bruno hits the bricks
and we keep Hunter if only to show everyone else on the team how to box
out properly.

Well, sure, that's what we saw in the summer league and are seeing now. The kid
can play, no question (except in Obie's delusional mind, where Waltuh is a
starting PF and plays for 40+ minutes). Hunter's biggest problem, obviously, is
that he's 6-5 or so. Then again, so was Barkley, Aguirre, Dantley and quite a
few other low-post beasts. Not to say that he is, or ever will be, as good, but
he unquestionably can rebound. He's averaging something like a rebound every 2
minutes, whereas 6-11 McCarty averages a rebound every 7 minutes. Yet somehow,
it is Hunter whose rebounding ability is being questioned by Obie.
