He's due for some out-making.That's not how probability works.That's what I was getting at earlier, but I supposedly wasn't getting a joke.

He's not gonna make anyone forget Edgardo Alfonzo but I like him as a reserve so far.Maybe Desi Relaford with better hands and less power?Maybe Bob Bailor but more acrobatic.Whatever, I like his game also.
