big al

[ryanmnelson at verizon.net]

Actually he's 22.

i hope i am wrong, but i see much more eddy curry in al jefferson than kevin mchale.

I don't think i have said he is a bust or a horrible player, but he is certainly not mchale.

Time will tell.

Quick question:  Given al's lackluster conditioning until this year, what do people think is going to happen after danny signs him to that big contract extension?
