1. Does anyone have the stats on Ming's defender in the ITALY game and what is the size of the Italian Team. and 2. What is the deal with MO Taylor what are we going to do with him and why did we spend that much money on him and do you all think hes going to work out.
Question 2: That is a rather convoluted message but I do have an opinion. MoT is a solid role player...the perfect guy you want on a team. He will contribute but doesn't demand the ball. Sure he has some weaknesses but Rudy has always been excellent at maximizing player's strengths. So assuming he whips into shape for the season, I look forward to having him back on the floor. KT is too small, although he had a great season, and Griff isn't ready to start yet. After MoT serves his 5 game suspenion, I expect MoT to be the starter until Griff matures. I was surprised at the contract they signed but he's really overpayed by, say 2 mil/yr. After years 4, 5 & 6, he'll probably have an average contract by then. HOPEFULLY, he'll have many productive years ahead. If he catches fire, then we've got him cheap. But also remember he came in the 1st yr on a small 1yr contract probably with a gentlemen's agreement. So his 48mil/6 year is kinda like a 47mil/7 year deal. If he pans out, that's not too bad.
I think the guy Ming guarded was Marconato who scored 4 points. He seems to be over 7' tall. Here's a picture of Ming and him shaking hands: http://www.gazzetta.it/statics/saltri/pp_3.0.693933741.html
