Re: New poll online

[Brett Pappas]

I actually am excited about the fact that he will miss a few early games
since it will help decide a few other players roles on this team.

I see Kirkland starting those games and maybe seeing Bobbitt and Field on
the floor together at times. It may also provide Pilgrim's best opportunity
to show what he is capable of.

I for one believe that Kirkland could hold on to the starting job depending
on how he does early. His greatest asset is his ability to beat defenders
off the dribble for cheap fouls or easy baskets. I think this is what made
Logan so dangerous since he seemed to be able to draw fouls whenever the
team went into a shooting slump.

As for White's defense, I will hold judgement until we see him in a game. I
have spoken to Kentucky fans (I was able to find all 3 intelligent ones) and
they joked about White's defensive prowess while with Florida. I keep this
in perspective considering Billy Ball doesn't usually require guys to play
both ends.
