> Howdy Chief, I'm still not convinced he was a good
pick at all. When he starts scoring 20 points a game
and blocking 10 shots a game regularly, then I'll
admit he was a viable 1st round pick but not until.
Also, I'm worried about how fragile he will be over a
5 year period but then you can say that about anyone
but I still wouldn't count on him being the "Get us
over the top Guy" you seem to think he is. Have a good
one...Rex
