I respectfully beg to differ. West will not play center, as we have the two big JUCO's and Colemen to take his place. Thus, the other team's big guy will have to defend these "bigger" guys in the paint. This frees up David to play with his face towards the basket - a departure from his past three years of PT. West, will have to demonstrate his out side shot and driving abilities to the pros. He has not had to do that in the past. -- XAVIER MENS BASKETBALL

In reply to: Sniper 's message, "Finn will play, but who knows how much. I don't see him starting just yet. Chalmers is prime for a great year, and I think he would do well at both the point and the 2G. The shooting guard and the small forward are both interchangable in Thad's system. The same goes with the forwards. Calling David West a power forward won't change who is defending him, and it won't change the way that he attacks the basket." on 23:36:23 06/24/02 Mon
