    Cato is more experienced. Cato can bench more, Cato drives a Purple Navigator with 20 inch rims.

    Thats why he starts.

    No more stupid questions please. :D

    Cato had a triple double. Took Ewing over 10 years to do that.

    Yeah but I bet it took Ewing many less seasons to become an allstar than Cato will. Oh wait, Cato will never make an allstar game.

    He's a better starter b/c he SUPPOSED to run the floor better then Collier can. We need a center that can run the floor to keep up with our guards who like push it . Collier was already slow and now by adding some additonal lbs certainly dosen t help in that area. Cato is SUPPOSED to be better defensively also. In all honesty, Cato is the better player based on POTENTIAL which we might never see(explanation for contract).Both will see their share of minutes anyway with Cato's foul problems.

    You guys just wait!!! After Cato has a nine block preseason game, you'll be talking about him like he's the second coming of Wilt Chamberlin.

    Cato may run the floor better than Collier
    but he cannot catch the d*mn ball on the break
    ergo the nickname HANDS OF STONE

    Defensively . . i don't see that much of a drop off.

    Collier is superior to Craddle Offensively
    but only slightly worse on defense
    [which is still yet to be seen]

    I have yet to see anything that convinces me
    that Kevin Craddle should start
