If AJ ends up giving us 17 and 8, I would feel like we got lucky.  He doesnt
appear to be in the same league as Jermaine.

Its amazing how much people see what they want to see in young players.  AJ
looks good and certainly could perhaps have a career equal to Jermaine
ONeal, but what are the odds?  10%?  15%?

If anything, Al has shown us that he is not a sure thing based on his injury
history, shaky D, and inconsistency.
