Then again, I'm more willing to play small than most.Bret LaGreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000566742639583055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-80407079215660740872009-06-25T13:03:38.739-04:002009-06-25T13:03:38.739-04:00Maybe, but didn't the Hawks seem overly impres...Maybe, but didn't the Hawks seem overly impressed with Hansbrough? And what do they do for a backup center without Pachulia?rbubphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14995614356146242348noreply@blogger.com
