Some players like John Starks, David Wesley, Mario Elie, Chris Childs 
picked up from the CBA have had successful NBA careers, and are better then 
most of our bench & starters.  The Clippers have a guy named Troy Hudson 
that has looked decent and impressed Chris Ford.  Anyone know anything 
about Jones or Hudson ?  Personally I am still waiting for this Popeye to 
arrive. IMO a big mistake by RP, should have signed a veteran scorer/leader 
not a question mark coming off an injury. With Bowen, Jones, McCarty, 
Schintzius, Riley, Garnett, Ellison, we have to many zero dimensional 
players that would be on few other NBA teams.  I would put Minor in this 
category but he has played well of late, 1/2 dimension.
