draft

[Jim Hill]

Tony, Then you missed the comments he made of how he would spend his summers
working on his music and never picking up a basketball until training camp
where he would work himself back into basketball shape.  That, along with
his concentration on his music production into the wee hours most/many
nights during the season would hardly define a hard worker, in basketball
terms, regardless of how "hard" he appeared to try during his few minutes on
the court each game.  He did seem to be a decent enough person however.

I have to disagree here, Walter McCarty was a hard worker and player and
went all out on the court. He might not of been the best player but he gave
a 110% every game he played.
