It's actually Marfan, I was wrong. Thanks to Michael Byrnes for pointing
that out.

Walter, like Travis, lost confidence as the year wore on. That's always bad
for any basketball player. I think this offseason will make or break
McCarty. If he does well he'll become a well paid sixth man. If he does
badly he'll become an eighth man playing for ~1mil. Either way we should
win.

I'll chalk it up to confidence.

I think we underestimate Travis. If not here he'll find a niche somewhere.
