I remember Juan D. from his Maryland days too, and I also thought he
would be a better NBA player than he's been so far. Still, even
assuming he still has untapped potential, I'm puzzled by why Detroit
thought they needed another guard. And having a big body like
Brezec's around, even as an insurance policy, seems like it would have
been more valuable.
Oh well, now Brezec and Delfino can compare notes about not getting
enough PT with Detroit. Speaking of whom, nice game Carlos had last
night (23 points on 7-9 from the field plus 3-4 FTs).-- Joe
